Alle discusses cervixes on The Sam Laprade Show
Five minutes, tops!
In the U.S., January was National Cervical Health Awareness Month. A critical scene in my novel has to do with the main character discovering that she has Human papillomavirus (HPV). In treating it, she reconnects with her cervix in a way that affirms her humanity and clears a great deal of the “dirty” feeling around her abuse history.
Sam Laprade interviewed me on her eponymous show about this scene in my novel and—of course—the parallel to my own story. So here I am, discussion HPV with Sam. (Trigger warning for a frank discussion of parts of the privates.)
