writing rituals & mental health with Jeni McFarland + current favorites!
This summer we decided to do our first let it out book club, and my friend Karolina told me she had the perfect book for us. We chose the new novel The House of Deep Water by today's guest Jeni McFarland. It's a unique story with deeply developed characters about family, trauma, and change, and it takes place in my home state of Michigan. This conversation covers trauma, therapy, mental health, Jeni's writing rituals, and how’s she taking care of herself in the pandemic. I loved speaking with Jeni.
