About this episode

Jaleigh Johnson discusses her cozy fantasy novel about a witch and her adopted daughter living in a sentient home.

A witch and her adopted daughter run away to the woods to build their home – or adopt it, because Thornwood House is more than just a place to live. It is a sentient home carrying the grief of its past resident. THE REIMAGINING OF THORNWOOD HOUSE is a cozy fantasy that is the definition of Cottage Core.
