Show Notes
In this interview, I chat with Amanda Peters about The Birthing Tree, how a family story inspired this book, the importance of tradition, her various covers for this one, tackling the themes of grief and secrets, creating a strong sense of place, her writing process, and much more.
Amanda's recommended reads are:
John of John by Douglas Stuart
Intermezzo by Sally Rooney
A Glacier's Guide to Dying by Michelle Porter
Small Things Like These by Claire Keegan
