Dear Diary, 

We have a special extra treat for you! We are here with a further historical note about the Irish Famine with author, Susan Campbell Bartoletti!

Bartoletti is an author and speaker who does not shy away from tough topics in history. We had her on the show to talk about writing history and historical fiction for young readers. We also had a lot of questions for Susan about her book, Black Potatoes: The Great Irish Famine 1845-1850, which Cate read in preparation for our discussion on So Far From Home. 

Tune in to hear our conversation and the forging of a new friendship! 

Yours Truly, 

Cate and Jen

P.S. We might hear more from Susan Campbell Bartoletti in the future!
