Chico KZFR radio host and author Phillip Elkins tells his story of growing up in East Lost Angeles from his latest, "Running From the Fire."

It is the true story of a young man growing up caught between two very different cultures.

Plus, Chico couple Joe and Terry Matthews share stories about their marriage as featured in the book Happy Marriages by Gayle Kimball, host of "Ask Dr. Gayle" on KZFR.
