Calling My Heart
Do you have a place that calls to your heart?
I live in Oregon but I can hear Montana calling my name. Both of my sisters live there and want us to move so we can grow old together and become crazy cat ladies.
My sisters live on land and can see beautiful sunsets every night under a wide open sky, blue mountains, rolling hills, and miles into the distance.
I set my book No Place I’d Rather Be in Montana. I was thinking about our ancestors, and what they had to do to get to America so they wouldn’t starve to death and live in abject poverty for the rest of their lives.
The ancestors’ stories in No Place I’d Rather Be are told through a cookbook handed down through the generations, complete with ingredients and hand-drawn photos.
From Odessa and pogroms, to Munich and the Nazis, from the Kindertransport, to the Blitz in London, and finally to Montana, Olivia learns about her relatives as she cooks.
Kindle, $8.58. I have NO IDEA what it’s $8.58.
