Ep 730 - An American Marriage, by Tayari Jones

What starts as a dismaying story about a wrongful conviction turns into a deep meditation on loyalty, marriage, and independence. Given the subject matter, you might expect a mystery or a courtroom drama. Instead, Jones offers up a moving account of a couple just trying to find a future that will have them. Our theme music was composed by Nick Lerangis.
