Erin Blakemore is a journalist, historian, and author of the book The Heroine's Bookshelf. Recently after brain surgery she turned to the the comfort of her beloved Little House books in a way she never had before: by listening to them on audio. Erin's first time listening to Cherry Jones' masterful narration of the entire Little House series was transformative. In the first of two episodes, Erin shares that experience with Land of Laura's listeners and offers commentary of her own on the enduring impact of Laura Ingalls Wilder's stories on our collective cultural history. https://www.harpercollins.com/products/the-heroines-bookshelf-erin-blakemore?variant=44503652106274
