Desideratum

The View From Half Dome by Jill Caugherty narrated by Theresa Bakken


Listen Later

This is a story about a girl growing up in San Francisco in the 1930’s - her family suffers one tragedy after another and she decides to escape the city and head to Yosemite… 

Where she crosses paths with a real person in history - a Park Ranger named Enid Michael. 

We’re talking about the historical fiction, The View From Half Dome, with author Jill Caugherty. 

Jill shares how her storyline and characters evolved.  It always fascinates me to hear how one idea built up from the last - how one thing leads to another. I also really liked hearing Jill explain contrast and its importance to this story.

The scene you’ll hear from the audiobook is young Izzy’s first real hike in Yosemite.  She’s with Enid and Ansel and Virginia Adams. Thanks to the publisher Black Rose Writing for giving me the joy of narrating this story. And, thank you for listening.
