Debut author! Kathleen Dorothy Blackburn, LOOSE OF EARTH: A Memoir
Debut author Kathleen Dorothy Blackburn joins Zibby to discuss LOOSE OF EARTH, an arresting memoir and bold expos\xe9 of love, unbending religious fanaticism, disease, forever chemicals, and one family\u2019s desperate wait for a miracle that never came. Kathleen describes her childhood in a conservative, evangelical family in Texas and the diagnosis and eventual death of her father. She touches on her family\u2019s obsessive quest for faith-based healing over conventional medicine, the broader environmental issues tied to her father\u2019s illness, and the responsibility she bore as a young caretaker. Finally, she describes the challenges\u2014and cathartic power\u2014of writing about such a painful past.
