Debra Curtis on "The Laws of Love and Logic", radical forgiveness and publishing her first novel in her sixties

What does it mean to truly forgive—and how can we stay open in a
world full of opposing beliefs? In this episode of Hey Booklovers,
we sit down with Debra Curtis to talk about her debut novel "The
Laws of Love and Logic" – and the deeply human questions at its
core. We explore the central themes of her novel: sisterhood,
religion, feminism, grief, and the tension between personal values
and societal expectations. But our conversation goes far beyond the
book. Together, we dive into bigger questions: – How do we navigate
fundamentally different worldviews? – What does radical forgiveness
really look like in real life? – And how can we remain open, even
when it’s uncomfortable? Another highlight of this episode is
Debra’s unconventional journey to becoming a writer later in life.
She shares insights into her creative process – from decades of
handwritten notebooks to recurring themes that shape her
storytelling. Her approach to writing is intuitive, reflective, and
deeply rooted in lived experience.
