Please welcome tonight’s guest: Author KT Mather!<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

KT Mather grew up in Alaska with a respect for two things\u2014nature and the power of a good story to change everything (or at least something). She was a high school English teacher and soccer coach for years and misses being around teenagers’ humor and authenticity. She lives in Vermont with her family, where she writes, hosts the podcast \u201cOut of Curiosity with kt mather,\u201d serves in local office, and is busy converting her lawn into an edible forest and pollinator garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rage Is a Wolf<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Sixteen-year-old Elaine Archer thinks the Earth might really be screwed. And she\u2019s pretty sure sitting in a classroom memorizing Civil War battle dates isn\u2019t gonna save it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Desperate to do something meaningful<\/em>, but not sure it will do any good,<\/em> Elaine talks her moms into letting her drop out of school to write a novel. Spending her days circling Chicago in search of her story, she discovers a universe of people and ideas she\u2019d never have encountered behind the doors of D.B. High. As her understanding of the complexity of the world and relationships deepens, so does her fear that she might not have what it takes to make any difference at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rage Is a Wolf<\/em> is the biting and hilarious story of a teenage girl trying to answer life\u2019s questions\u2014Is not telling your best friend something the same as lying to her? Can you have a crush on more than one person? Why is the movie Aliens<\/em> so perfect? What\u2019s the point of sex? What\u2019s the point of life? Can one person change the world? Can a story? Can love?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
