The Continental Divide by Bob Johnson | GSMC Book Review Podcast
Welcome to the GSMC Book Review Podcast, your trusted destination for compelling conversations with today’s most intriguing authors. Hosted by Sarah, this episode features a powerful discussion with Bob Johnson about his debut short story collection, The Continental Divide.
In The Continental Divide, Bob Johnson brings readers fourteen unforgettable stories set along the rugged St. Lawrence Divide in northern Indiana. His characters—tough, flawed, and achingly human—face brutal choices and haunting consequences. From a mother forced to make an unthinkable decision for her family’s survival, to a small-town marshal tracking down his own son for murder, and a fallen football hero confronting the ghosts of a violent past, these stories shine a stark light on how violence and sin ripple through small communities.
In this episode, Sarah and Bob explore the inspirations behind these stories, the real-life landscapes that shaped them, and the themes of morality, redemption, and human endurance that bind them together. Whether you’re a fan of raw literary fiction, short stories that hit hard, or emerging voices who tell unvarnished truths, you’ll find plenty to appreciate here.
Tune in as Bob discusses his writing journey, the challenges of portraying darkness with honesty, and the power of giving voice to characters rarely seen in the spotlight. The GSMC Book Review Podcast brings you honest insights, meaningful questions, and engaging book talk every week—perfect for readers, writers, and lovers of story alike.
