Terry Shepherd brings upbeat energy and enthusiasm to his interviews. An author himself, he wanted to talk to me as an author, not “just” a grieving partner. Listen on his website or Soundcloud.

Terry also wrote a beautiful description of our conversation, which begins like this:

“The human heart is an unreliable architect, at once fragile and astonishingly resilient, building and rebuilding amid the inevitable wreckage of loss. Few understand this more intimately than Tony Stewart, whose memoir, Carrying the Tiger, traces the winding and unlit path through his wife Lynn’s battle with cancer and his own slow reentry into the world of the living.”
