"There's nothing truer than fiction, because you can always find yourself in the work."

The Berry Pickers by Amanda Peters is the story of a Mi'kmaq girl who goes missing and the grief, turmoil and hope that they find as they move forward. Peters joins us to talk about her personal connections to the novel, crafting her characters, connection through storytelling and more with guest host, Jenna Seery.
