I loved hearing Lisa Wingate delve into the inspiration behind 'Shelterwood' with Carol Fitzgerald. Her journey into the forgotten history of Native American 'elf children' and the untold stories of the Winding Stair Mountains is both poignant and enlightening. It's wonderful to see such meaningful narratives brought to light through literature."
"Lisa Wingate's discussion with Carol Fitzgerald about her new historical fiction novel, SHELTERWOOD, sounds fascinating! The inspiration from Kate Barnard's story and the exploration of 'elf children' who lived in trees adds a unique and captivating element to the book. I love how Lisa ties in her personal history and deep connection to Eastern Oklahoma and the Winding Stair Mountains. It's always enriching to learn about lesser-known historical events and cultural nuances that we didn't get to study in school
Can't wait to read; library just added it this morning and I'm #4. Loved your discussion as I spent some time in OK and am also an alumni of women's history and identify with so much you talked about. Young women need to learn what their mothers and grandmothers fought to get for them, Title IX and the rights of womanhood.
