Many authors come to writing later in life, but few make the kind of splash Julie Lythcott-Haims did. She was a Dean at Stanford (and, before that, an attorney) when she quit to pursue an MFA in her 40s. Flash forward, and she is now the author of two successful books: the anti-helicopter parenting manifesto How to Raise an Adult, and her new memoir on race, Real American. Lythcott-Haims joins us on the GrottoPod this week to discuss her journey, her strategies as a writer, her family and her feelings about overparenting. Don’t miss her at Babylon Salon in San Francisco on Saturday, March 3.
