Title: S2EP52, The Wisdom of the Willows by Nancy Chadwick

Nancy Chadwick always wanted to write mini-stories about characters. She went into advertising, but never was able to achieve her goal. She got a job in banking which also did not fulfill her dream.

After getting married, her husband told her to take the summer off from her unsatisfying job. She started writing and never went back to work. She started with essays and after 15 years, published her first memoir, Underneath the Birch Tree.

Inspired by the sun streaming down on a river one day, Nancy ventured into fiction writing. She wrote some essays and has recently published The Wisdom of the Willow. I thoroughly enjoyed reading about the Dowlings, their daughters, and the wisdom shared by Margaret under the willow tree.

Thank you, Nancy, for your appreciation of nature and for passing on your life lessons so we can all relate and learn from you.
