Barbara Newhall Follet was a child prodigy, banging out her first novel by the age of 9...accomplished enough to make the rest of us feel inadequate. But her adulthood was less than idyllic. And at the young old age of 25, she disappeared never to be seen again. In ep. 40, Strange Country co-hosts Beth and Kelly explore this talented writer's life cut short. And we try out our new tagline: This is an adult conversation and may have some adult language so child prodigies beware.
