In this episode 230, we visit with Rebecca Hodge, author of “Wildland,” a gripping and emotional novel of acceptance, survival, and courage.
After Kat Jamison learns her breast cancer has returned, she retreats to the Blue Ridge Mountains to make a difficult decision—fight for her life or reunite with her husband in the afterlife. After meeting two children and a pair of abandoned dogs, Kat’s emotions are deeply confused. When a wildfire begins in the forest, Kat must now guide her small crew to safety.
New York Times Bestselling author Diane Chamberlain had this to say about the book, “Heart-stopping…Hodge shows great skill in writing a story that’s both touching and exhilarating.”

About the Author:
Rebecca Hodge is an author of fiction, a veterinarian, and a clinical research scientist who lives and writes in North Carolina. Fiction writing is the space where her creative side comes out to play, and her writing centers on characters who discover that life is not a spectator sport. She has three grown sons, two crazy dogs, and one patient husband. When not writing on the back porch or brewing yet another mug of tea, she loves hiking, travel, and (of course) curling up with a good book.
