Joan Leegant talks about Wherever You Go

Joan Leegant , author of An Hour in Paradise , won the Edward Lewis Wallant Award for the best book of Jewish-American fiction and the L. L. Winship/PEN New England Award. Her brilliant, evocative novel, Wherever You Go asks how far someone is willing to go for something he or she believes in. I'm honored Joan allowed me to pepper her with questions. Thank you so much, Joan.

How far do you personally think we should go in the name of a cause? And do you think violence is ever justified?
