MN Reads: Shelter

By Lisa Johnson

May 04, 2017

Stonich_Shelter cover Author Sarah Stonich published Shelter in 2011, when she was a single mother looking for connections to home and family for herself and her son.

Now Shelter is out in paperback, and Stonich has written an epilogue, dated this year, that reveals much about journeys, priorities, dreams that come true but no longer fit ... and the often underestimated importance of indoor plumbing.

Listen to the interview on KUMD.
