Book Club Recording: THE STEPS WE TAKE with Ellen Ann Fentress

from Rooted · host Lauren Rhoades

In January, I talked with Ellen Ann Fentress and the book club squad about her brilliant memoir The Steps We Take: A Memoir of Southern Reckoning (University Press of Mississippi, 2023). Ellen Ann always speaks with candor and clarity about even the most complex and uncomfortable of topics. I enjoyed diving into this rich discussion with her and the rest of our fabulously insightful participants. Talking about The Steps We Take was a great kick-off to the Rooted Book Club! I hope you enjoy this replay.If you want to go the extra mile, leave The Steps We Take a five star review on Amazon (even if you didn’t buy the book on Amazon) and Goodreads, share a picture of the book to your social media, or recommend it to a friend!
