The Apple Seed

In story, as in life, things sometimes go terribly wrong. We’re always grateful to those who are able, through skill, bravery, or sheer luck, to put things right again. Sometimes that person is even ourselves, though we rarely succeed alone. Today, enjoy two stories by Sharon Kennedy and The Storycrafters about two heroes who are able to face terrible curses (magical or otherwise) and undo them, making life better for those around them.

Sam is joined in the studio by Assistant Producer, Caroline Coppersmith and Gigi Valentine.
