This Tender Land made breakthrough success on the New York Times Bestseller list in 2019 and has been reviewed as one of the best books of the year. Not surprising, since the character relationships and stories at play in this enthralling journey make it a true modern-day classic. Carol sits down to talk with author William Kent Krueger about his own experiences in America’s heartland. They discuss the struggles he faced writing about Native American children in the depression era, both tangibly in his writing process and how the book’s events impacted him as he explored them.
