As promised in yesterday’s post, today’s guest is Rebecca Hodge, debut author of WILDLAND! If you missed Barbara Claypole White waxing poetic about WILDLAND yesterday, here’s where you can catch up quick.

Rebecca Hodge is an author of fiction, a veterinarian, and a clinical research scientist who lives and writes in North Carolina. Fiction writing is the space where her creative side comes out to play, and her writing centers on characters who discover that life is not a spectator sport. She has three grown sons, two crazy dogs, and one patient husband. When not busy writing, she loves hiking, travel, and (of course) curling up with a good book. WILDLAND is her debut novel.

Rebecca’s recommendation is THE MOONSHINER’S DAUGHTER by Donna Everhart, which was released in early January. “Told with compassion and deft characterization, this is the story of a teenage girl fighting her own demons as she tries to balance allegiance to her father and brother with the illegality of the family business.” It’s set in western North Carolina in the early 1960s, and it sounds amazing.
