This is a story about a young woman running away and finding her home. It begins with the moment she decides to run, when she faces a painful truth about her boyfriend.
We’re talking about A LIGHT IN THE FOREST - a Colorado Book Award Finalist - on this Desideratum.
A Desideratum is an essential thing. I’m audiobook narrator Theresa Bakken and I think this story is full of essential things. This week we’re talking about being a work in progress with author Melissa Payne whose new novel A Light in the Forest got us talking about small towns, and pigs, and intuition.
I want to thank the Colorado Sun for shining their light on Melissa, I listen to the Sun's podcast called The Daily Sun-Up.. It's a great way to start your day if you’re curious about Colorado culture, history, news of all kinds delivered to your ears.
