Surprise!! We're releasing this episode a day earlier than usual because it's Valentine's Day, and we have a LOT of love to share for one of our all-time favorite Gilded Age authors! Amy and Amanda gush about the inimitable George MacDonald and how his works have shaped their lives, plus they take a closer look at MacDonald's last book, FAR ABOVE RUBIES (1898), a sweet novella that not only perfectly encapsulates his writing career, but also exposes his tender heart for a hurting world. It's a multi-layered Valentine episode you don't want to miss!
