Ed has as his guest Dr Danica Hubbard. Danica is talking about her new book, which is a heartfelt, open and honest account about knowing someone and not knowing them at all.

The reviews for her book are striking

Dr. Hubbard opens her heart to share with us a beautifully written, touching, informative, and brutally honest book about the intricacies of having a father who was a sexual predator.

---AMY ZABIN, author of Conversations with a Pedophile

Imagine having someone you've known your whole life, someone you've looked up to, tell you about a heinous crime they committed. This book provides understanding, forgiveness, and inner strength.

---JULIA LAZARECK, author of Prison: The Hidden Sentence(r)

This is a sensitive and delicate subject that is seldom explored. It is a testament to Dr. Hubbard that she has the courage and willingness to share her journey with us.

---BARBARA ALLAN, author of Doing Our Time on the Outside and Founder: Friends and Family of Incarcerated Persons, Inc.

This book will pave the way toward a deeper, nuanced understanding of criminal behavior (especially sexual offending) and its aftermath for readers of all stripes.

---J.J. PRESCOTT, University of Michigan Professor of Law
