"Shred Sisters" author Betsy Lerner opens up about writing her first novel

From the March sisters in "Little Women" to Cinderella and her wicked stepsisters, the relationship between female siblings is a favorite in works of fiction. One of the latest novels to enter that realm is Betsy Lerner's "Shred Sisters," a book that takes the reader on an emotional journey with three siblings. Lerner sat down with Dana Jacobson to talk about writing the novel, and how her earlier non-fiction writing informed the story.
