On Episode 247, Alli finally gets the chance to revisit a book that’s been at the top of her personal SSR wish list for years: Bloomability by Sharon Creech. With the help of her guest, Alli follows main character Dinnie on a journey from her nomadic life in the U.S. to a Swiss boarding school, where she makes new friends, is forced to see her family back home in a new way, and learns more about herself. The book opens up conversations about everything from family dysfunction and dream journals to culture shock and belonging. Kaitlyn Hill is the author of Love from Scratch and Not Here to Stay Friends. Follow her on Instagram (@thekaitlynhill) and Twitter (@thekaitlynhill).
