On the Read. Talk. Grow. podcast, we talk about books — especially fiction, memoir and narrative nonfiction — that deal with important health topics. Included here all the books we have featured on the podcast. Happy Reading! About the PodcastIn each episode of Read. Talk. Grow., host Dr. Denise Millstine invites an author and medical expert into conversation on subjects like miscarriage, cancer, relationships, mental health and more. In the same way that books can transport us to a different time, place, or culture, Read. Talk. Grow. demonstrates that books can also give a new appreciation for health experiences.
