123: Chat with Ruth Wariner
Podcast: Meagan's Book Club PodcastPublished On: Tue Mar 31 2026
Description: In this episode, I’m joined by New York Times bestselling author Ruth Wariner to talk about her unforgettable memoir, The Sound of Gravel. This powerful story traces Ruth’s childhood growing up in a polygamist Mormon doomsday community—and the courage it took to leave everything she knew behind at just fifteen.What made this conversation especially meaningful was getting to hear where life has taken Ruth since the book’s release in 2016. From a renewed wave of readers discovering her story—especially through the audiobook—to reflecting on everything she’s built for herself since leaving her past behind, Ruth shares with such honesty and grace.She is thoughtful, grounded, and deeply inspiring, and this conversation is a reminder of both the resilience of the human spirit and the power of telling your story. Thanks for listening!
