Christine tells Jessica about A Doll's House by Henrik Ibsen. The groundbreaking play premiered in 1879, and yet it's shockingly relevant today. Christine goes into the history of the play, the fascinating plot, and her own personal connection with the twists of this devastating story.

Preorder Jessica's book, We Were Illegal: Uncovering a Texas Family's Mythmaking and Migration, which comes out June 18 with Viking, and come see her on tour!
