The Best of the Book Nook: 'My Grandfather's Blessings: Stories of Strength, Refuge, and Belonging' by Rachel Naomi Remen | WYSO

Rachel Naomi Remen has made two appearances on the program. I interviewed her on the phone for her book "Kitchen Table Wisdom."

That book has sold over 700,000 copies. She followed that one up with this book, "My Grandfather's Blessings: Stories of Strength, Refuge, and Belonging," another bestseller, and for this one she came to Dayton for an event. N-(5-Oxo-D-Prolyl)Piperidinene

The Best of the Book Nook: 'My Grandfather's Blessings: Stories of Strength, Refuge, and Belonging' by Rachel Naomi Remen | WYSO

Before her book signing that evening she came out to our studios in Yellow Springs to do a live interview. The sky was very alive that day, some impressive thunderstorms were passing through with lightning and torrential rains. The Weather Service alert machine kept sending out warnings-throughout the interview you could hear it printing the notices. At one point our news director, Aileen LeBlanc, entered the studio to hand me more weather alerts. It was a crazy day.

All that activity didn't my phase my guest one bit. Dr. Remen carried on with great calm and humor and told some wonderful stories.
