Palm Reading for Fern by Author Jeannie Zokan

There was a time in Washington, DC in the late 80s/early 90s when author Jeannie Zokan was a girl about town reading palms at high end hotels and parties. In her second novel, Courage Without Grace, main character Josie Wales, a palm reader in DC, finds the courage to face her future, and to face a secret from her past. In this IGTV episode, Jeannie reads Fern’s palm! And discusses a letter of recommendation she received from none other than Ben Bradlee. The letter is handwritten and includes a word that, for 30 years, Jeannie hasn’t been able to decipher. And either can anyone else.
