I’m excited to be joined on the show today by guest author J.E. Weiner. On this episode we’re going to talk about her book, The Wretched and Undone. On the eve of the Civil War, Polish immigrants Marcin and Agnieszka Anderwald arrive in Bandera, Texas, seeking a fresh start in a new land of fertile soil and freedom. But their dreams quickly become nightmares when Marcin provokes a sinister specter hell-bent on revenge.
