Author Event: Michelle Dowd – Forager: Field Notes for Surviving a Family Cult: a Memoir

In conversation with Luisa Smith
A moving, heartbreaking, and lyrical true story of the author’s escape from an apocalyptic cult—and the survival skills that led to her freedom. At once a field guide—each chapter is anchored by an illustration and story of an individual edible plant that Michelle Dowd foraged—and a triumphant memoir of escape, Forager takes readers on a journey with a young woman who discovers the remarkable staying power of her resilience.
