Former Cranford Resident Examines The People Of Hope In Podcast Series
Some say the group was a partial inspiration for A Handmaid's Tale.

In the 1980s Karen Coburn was attending Cranford High School. Some of her friends and their families had become involved with The People of Hope, a Catholic covenant community. Many years later, after moving to Los Angeles, Karen became interested in what happened to the group and those from Cranford who became a part of it. That interest led to an eight-episode podcast series called Shadow of Hope.
Karen is my guest on this week's episode to discuss the group and her podcast.
