Cassandra Lane - Author of We Are Bridges, a memoir that reclaims family history
Cassandra Lane is the author of We Are Bridges, a memoir that explores reclaiming violent family history in order to create a more free future for one’s children.
“In this narrative, Lane seeks an origin story, searching for what facts are available and wondering about the legacy she is passing on. . . . A multiangled exploration of family trauma and the forging of an identity.” — Kirkus Reviews
In this episode, we discuss her writing process, and:
- Exploring your city to explore your creativity
- Writing in the early morning hours with candles and incense
- And more
