Kate explains her process for writing the book after finding her love for writing in her thirties.
Kate also discusses her experience teaching science classes and her fascination with environmental issues and subcultures. She also talks about her reasoning for writing the story from a female point of view and how various themes like community and sense of place play important roles in the book.
