Today's guest, Kimberly Ballou, has created a powerful story of love, hope and empathy. Her debut middle grade novel When Daronte's Father Went To Prison tells a heart breaking story of how a 10 year old boy's life is turned upside down by his father's bad choices. In our interview Kimberly tells us she was inspired to write this book because so many of the inner city children she was teaching had to deal with this reality. This is an eye opening interview about an inspiring book.
