Episode 135: “This Sea Within” with Deborah Brasket

Vicki and I love being able to talk with returning guests because it leads to deeper conversations – about the work, why we do it, and the goodness that comes from sharing. This is definitely the case with one of our favorite novelists, the amazing Deborah Brasket.

In this episode of Sharing the Heart of the Matter, my co-host, Vicki Atkinson, and I talk with novelist Deborah about her new book, This Sea Within, a sweeping historical novel that blends political intrigue, love, coming-of-age, and spiritual longing. Deborah shares how her world travels, deep research, and personal reflections shaped a story rich with danger, beauty, and purpose.

Together, we explore the connection between the sensual and the spiritual, the power of story to illuminate history, and what it means to be called by something greater than yourself. If you love thoughtful conversations about books, creativity, courage, and the deeper currents that move our lives, this episode is for you.
