What Choosing To Leave Your Rural Roots Can Mean For Community
A new book explores what it means to feel connected to a place, and why the rootedness that was once ingrained in farm towns and rural communities gave way to many young people choosing to leave as young adults. We talk to the author abut her own experience of small town life and death, and what lessons we can learn.
