1KHO 846: The Stories That Make Us | Sheila Quinn, Where Flowers Once Grew

Life can change in a single generation, but the values that carry a family forward can last forever. In this conversation, bestselling historical novelist Sheila Quinn returns to the 1000 Hours Outside Podcast to talk about her beautiful new novel, Where Flowers Once Grewwhich is a story inspired by her own grandmother's childhood during the Dust Bowl and Great Depression. We talk about growing up with very little, why work was simply part of life, the surprising joy found in simple things, and how family stories shape the people we become. If you've ever wondered what we've lost, what we've kept, and why it's worth asking your grandparents more questions while you still can, this episode will stay with you long after it ends.
