"We are a hair's breadth away from tragedy at all times. It's a really sour outlook, but I think we're also lucky because we evade it most of the time. I feel like there are so many times things could go wrong and they don't. And how great that is." Liese O'Halloran Schwarz talks with Mary Laura Philpott about her book WHAT COULD BE SAVED.
