Host Lauren chats with bestselling author Vanessa Lillie to discuss her latest book, The Bone Thief. They talk about the book, repatriating historic Indigenous artifacts, Vanessa's writing process, and the importance of self-care when writing about traumatic events. In the Last Chapter they discuss the seasonally appropriate topic: If you could have a custom candle to burn while you cozy up with a good book, what would the scent be and why?
