EPISODE 118 - Rachel Dickinson - The Loneliest Places - A Mother's Response to Her Son's Suicide

Rachel Dickinson writes about travel, history, bits of science, and anything else that interests her from her home in perpetually cloudy Upstate New York. Her latest book THE LONELIEST PLACES: Loss, Grief, and the Long Journey Home (Cornell Press, 2022) is a collection of essays that took her a decade to write after the death by suicide of her 17-year-old son Jack.

She's the author of six other books including AMERICAN DYNASTIES (2021), THE NOTORIOUS RENO GANG, an account of the world's first train robbers, and FALCONER ON THE EDGE, where she followed a hardcore falconer through a hunting season in Wyoming.

She has an MFA in Nonfiction from Goucher College, did graduate work in American History at the University of Delaware, and has a geology degree from Kirkland College.
