“Ingredients for the Perfect Chicken Soup Story”


What goes into the perfect Chicken Soup for the Soul story? Our special guest, Amy Newmark, publisher of the Chicken Soup for the Soul series, will share what she looks for in a Chicken Soup story, plus answer your questions about the series. Amy will be joining us via online video, and she also wants to know what we like about the Chicken Soup books.
