Rewrite Radio

Episode 5 of Rewrite Radio features Patricia and Alana Raybon on the power of the pen to bridge a deep divide. They talk about writing UNDIVIDED: A MUSLIM DAUGHTER, HER CHRISTIAN MOTHER, THEIR PATH TO PEACE and the truths, troubles, and triumphs of co-authoring when the collaborators are struggling not just to write a book, but to reconcile their deepest difference. ALANA RAYBON is the co-author of UNDIVIDED: A MUSLIM DAUGHTER, HER CHRISTIAN MOTHER, THEIR PATH TO PEACE, along with her mother, Patricia Raybon. Raybon writes and teaches middle school in Tennessee. PATRICIA RAYBON is a journalist and the author of four books, including the memoirs I TOLD THE MOUNTAIN TO MOVE, a finalist for Christianity Today’s 2006 Book of the Year, and MY FIRST WHITE FRIEND, which won the Christopher Award. Her most recent book is UNDIVIDED: A MUSLIM DAUGHTER, HER CHRISTIAN MOTHER, THEIR PATH TO PEACE, co-written with her daughter Alana Raybon.
