WORDS ON A WIRE: Carole Firstman

Carole Firstman's father was an eccentric researcher who traveled extensively studying scorpions and spiders.  Her childhood was full of adventure, but she and her father became estranged when Carole was a teenager. Their attempts to reconcile their relationship in her late 20s led to the material that inspired her memoir, Origins of the Universe and What It all Means.  Carole joins us to tell us more about her relationship with her father and her book's road to publication.
