by guest blogger Maya Rodale. I’m currently at work on my eighth novel (!), and I’m finding that each book is more challenging than the last to write. But all the crazy events in the past few weeks reminded me why I stick with it. With each book, I put a little more happiness into the world.
Scratch
Raised on America’s first organic farm, Scratch author Maria Rodale learned how to make everyday favorites from, yes, scratch — the way you remember them; the way they turn out best.
