A brilliant and gripping debut, Shannon Sanders' The Great Wherever is about a heartbroken and financially strapped millennial who inherits her father's share of a Tennessee farm purchased by her great-grandfather, one of the first Black landowners in his community. Shannon joins us to talk about the family farm that inspired the novel, the value of having a homestead even if no one lives there, and why the novel is narrated by a gossipy clan of family ghosts.
