Sarah Goodyear, Brooklyn-based journalist and novelist, has a life story with a recurring pattern: she's twice risen out of bad circumstances by sheer force of will. She tells us how she made her way into her dream school, and later into a happy marriage, by believing in herself and keeping a steadfast commitment to her work. We also chat about her current work on The War On Cars, a podcast about the century-long, ongoing battle to reclaim our cities from the automobile.
