Show Notes

Gen LaGreca is an author with four novels under her belt, and while they seem like they are set in different eras and genres, they have the common theme of independent, rational heroes who have a love for truth and liberty, and a clear sense of right and wrong.

Her Young Adult novel Fugitive from Asteron is a great read for liberty minded high schoolers and advanced middle schoolers. Her well-researched Civil War novel A Dream for Daring is a unique take on the Antebellum South and how destructive its corrosive slave-owning culture really was.

In this episode, we talk about what art and literature can do for a child's education, and how important it is to study history and literature together.
