BONUS episode. No essay today. I opted for a ramble through garden instead. I've been worried about the heat wave coming and with the dry week or two previously, I'm trying to prepare the plants a bit.
This episode includes a little story about my time in Hawaii and the cacao plants we grew.
So listen in, if you like...I'll be reading my Salon.com essay, "Mothering Without a Net," the essay that inspired my book, "Without a Net: Middle Class and Homeless (with kids) In America."
