The book chosen for this year's One Read program follows three sets of mysteriously connected characters as their lives unveil several intertwined themes: individual identity, personal reinvention, connection to others, mental illness, sudden disappearance, and how the Internet is reshaping a lot of these ideas. On today's Intersection, we talk about how the themes in the book play out in real life. We also hear how the mid-Missouri community has responded to the book. Whether or not you read "Await Your Reply," today's conversation provides a thought-provoking look at how we all turn into the characters we are.
