Kristan and I discuss\xa0Pack Up the Moon, how reading books about other people\u2019s grief provides a safe way to cry over the things in your own life, why she chose to incorporate letters into her book, providing a story for a group of people who don\u2019t often get their own story, the origin of her title, her own experience with a medium and much more.\nKristan\u2019s recommended reads are:\n\nThe Invisible Husband of Frick Island\xa0by Colleen Oakley\n\nThe Girl with Stars in Her Eyes\xa0by Xio Axelrod\n\nThe Midnight Library by Matt Haig\n\nEvery Patient Tells a Story: Medical Mysteries and the Art of Diagnosis\xa0by Lisa Sanders\n\n\nSupport or sponsor an episode of the podcast here.\xa0\xa0\nIf you enjoyed this episode and want to listen to more episodes, try Katherine St. John, Steven Rowley, Emiko Jean, Jeff Arch, and Hala Alyan.\nPack Up the Moon\xa0can be purchased at the Conversations from a Page Bookshop storefront.\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\nLearn more about your ad choices.
