Gateway Books by Crestance is where historical fiction opens the door to real history. Hosted by Cindy Cruz, each episode pairs a compelling novel with the nonfiction works, historical events, and social movements that inspired it.

We go beyond the story—exploring how literature can revive forgotten voices, challenge the status quo, and deepen our understanding of the past. Whether you're a book lover, a history enthusiast, or simply curious about the connection between fact and fiction, this podcast invites you to read deeply, reflect widely, and discover history in a whole new light.
