Jessica and Ruth sit down for their first official SisterWild chat. Bit of a spoiler alert here! We suggest you read the book first. We talk about the complexities of Ruth's childhood in a polygamist community in Colonia LeBaron, Mexico, the emotional impact of revisiting these memories while writing her book, and how it helped her reconnect with her past, particularly her relationship with her mother. Ruth talks about how studying world religions and philosophy offered her new perspectives on her own experiences and spirituality. We talk about the role of storytelling in creating meaningful connections and fostering understanding across divides.
