How do you respond to a Guided Call? Laila Ibrahim is a spiritually guided, best-selling novelist. Her books arrive in magical flashes of insight – and each has a purpose of spreading compassion, and create bridges where there have been divides. It took seven years to write her first novel, but now – five years after the initial publication – she sells 8,000 to 60,000 copies per month. (Yes, you read that right.) When Laila got the idea for her first novel, she was a preschool teacher who had never even thought of writing a book. I interview her about the writing of all her books, including Yellow Crocus, a novel that begins in the antebellum South just before the Civil War. In the book, a white mother gives birth to a privileged child. The baby is nursed by an enslaved black wet nurse who becomes the most important person in the child’s life as she grows up. It’s a powerful story to read in these turbulent times, and a serious look into the inhumane customs and laws that shaped American history. Also, Laila reflects on her most recent book, Living Right, about a Christian family who attempts conversion therapy for their suicidal son, and the vision that informed this book. Her story a fascinating example of how one person can respond seriously to a guided call … and create a major difference in the lives of many, many people with the gift of writing. Listen to our conversation, and you’ll hear about:  The remarkable story of how the book ‘found’ her … and became her life purpose How she came to publish the book herself How African-Americans and white Americans both react to the book How Laila used her spiritual guidance to create a book with a larger social mission How she fought through her self-doubt around the project again and again The larger, spiritual purpose of Yellow Crocus The story behind her most recent book, Living Right  … and so much more.
