Hey well read baddies, Happy Black History Month! On today's bonus episode, we sit down with the author of River Sing Me Home Eleanor Shearer to talk about her upcoming novel Fireflies in Winter—a powerful blend of historical fiction, survival story, and queer Black romance. Eleanor shares how her family history shaped her connection to migration, exile, and belonging. She also takes us behind the scenes of her research process and the real history that inspired the novel. Fireflies in Winter is available 2/10 wherever books are sold!
