E115: It Wasn't Roaring, It Was Weeping

Welcome to Episode 115 of The Perfectionist’s Guide to Mothering! Today I have the privilege of chatting with Lisa-Jo Baker. She is a bestselling author, lapsed lawyer, and a current acquisitions editor for W Publishing.

Her most recent release, It Wasn’t Roaring, It Was Weeping is a critically acclaimed, honest and lyrical coming-of-age memoir of growing up in South Africa at the height of apartheid, and an invitation to recognize and refuse to repeat the sins of our fathers.*

Some of the resources we mention include:

• H is for Hawk by Helen Macdonald*
• The Space Trilogy by C.S. Lewis*
• The Outlaws of Sherwood by Robin McKinley*
• 1883 on Paramount Plus
