About this listen
On today’s Strategies for Living, Dr. David McMillian and Lauren Leon McMillian welcome back celebrated biographer and debut novelist Heather Clark for a powerful conversation about her new historical novel, The Scrapbook. Inspired by her grandfather’s haunting photos from the liberation of Dachau, Clark weaves a gripping tale of first love, inherited trauma, and emotional healing. Set between post-war Germany and 1990s America, the novel explores the enduring legacy of World War II and the deep emotional echoes passed through generations.
Tune in to hear how storytelling can become a path to healing, why remembering history matters more than ever, and how fiction can illuminate truth. Whether you're a lover of historical fiction, exploring intergenerational trauma, or simply looking for your next summer read — this episode offers depth, inspiration, and timeless wisdom.
