On today’s episode, I’m joined by guest author Aimie K. Runyan. We're diving into her evocative new novel, The Wandering Season — a story of identity, family secrets, and the journey to uncover where we truly belong. Set against the snowy backdrop of Estes Park, we follow Veronica Stratton, a specialty food broker on the brink of major career success. But when a Christmas visit home — and one surprising DNA test — reveals she's adopted, everything she thought she knew about herself begins to unravel. Unmoored and determined to uncover the truth, Veronica embarks on a sweeping journey across Europe—from the misty shores of County Mayo in Ireland, to the sun-soaked countryside of the Dordogne in France, through Lombardy’s rolling hills in Italy, and into the cozy charm of Copenhagen, Denmark. Join us as we explore the emotional heart of this novel, the inspiration behind it, and what it really means to search for your roots.
