Host Dennis Rimmer of Talking Books and Stuff interviews Saskatchewan author Candis Kirkpatrick about her novel Crows and Cheesecake, which follows Natty, an older woman who leaves a seniors' home to live life on her own terms. Kirkpatrick discusses growing up in Mossbank, her career with Tourism Moose Jaw, her award-winning play, and how a writing contest and a Saskatchewan Writers Guild retreat led to the book. She reflects on her mother's story, stereotypes of aging, and the empowering response from readers. The conversation closes with her ideas for future writing, including a possible prequel or book of snippets.
