If you weren’t able to catch us live earlier, here's the replay of my conversation with Julie Carrick Dalton. We dug into The Forest Becomes Her and talked about the Concord setting, the three women who end up fighting for one tree, and how she let the magic creep in so slowly you almost don’t clock it until it’s already got you. Julie also talked about her background as a beekeeper and organic farmer and how that shaped the way she writes about land and what we owe it.
If you loved this one as much as I did, or you’re still deciding whether to pick it up, the replay is a good place to start. You can grab a copy of The Forest Becomes Her at Bookshop.org and help out an indie bookstore while you're at it. You can check out my full book review here.
