Acclaimed nature writer Amy Irvine joins Irene Rawlings on Women, Books & More to discuss her powerful new memoir, Almost Animal.

For more than twenty years, Amy has written about the American West and our relationship with the natural world. In this deeply personal conversation, she reflects on motherhood, identity, belonging, and the challenge of holding onto yourself while caring for others.

Together, Irene and Amy explore the courage it takes to write a memoir, the expectations placed on women, the restorative power of wild places, and how Almost Animal became a story of resilience, self-discovery, and finding your way back to yourself.
