Delighted to bring you our first non-fiction book review in the series. My guest Laura is a long time friend, she suggested this book because she is just as obsessed as I am with gardening and homesteading. Laura is a tech entrepreneur that is always serving incredibly creative solutions to the world's problems. Her company Give inKind is a fast growing platform that helps people help their friends and family through illness, big life transitions, and death, even if they can't reach them physically, which is all of us right now.
Barbara Kingsolver's book Animal, Vegetable, Miracle; A Year of Food Life is a biography of the year that Barbara and her family pledged to eat only what they could grow or source from their county in rural Virginia. It is a delightful collection of essays written by Barbara, her teenage daughter, and her husband covering everything from the science and impact of food production in America to recipes for Asparagus and Eggplant. Beautiful and enchanting prose ensue.
Enjoy!

Braiding Sweetgrass Part 2 with my Aunt Jayne
Welcome to Part 2 of Braiding Sweetgrass. If you didn't listen to Part 1, don't worry. This is a non-linear episodic series so it really doesn't matter. I decided to talk to two different people about the same book because it's just that great of a book and its impossible to talk too much about it.
This episode is recorded with my Aunt Jayne, who is married to my Uncle Pat, she has a really cool and wise-lady outlook on pretty much everything so I was over the moon that she volunteered to talk about this book with me.
Enjoy!

This week, I sit down with my friend Madeline and we talk about In the Dream House by Carmen Maria Machado, a masterpiece of a book that challenges form and prose to bring you a memoir that transcends person and place. Making the personal universal. This is a brave book that addresses the realities of domestic violence and abuse in the queer community. Its delicious. Grab a copy, then devour and then hunger for more Machado. She is a literary powerhouse.
