Dear
John,
Please join the University Bookman on February 25 for our conversation with writer Grace Olmstead. During this Zoom event ([link removed]) , we'll explore Grace's forthcoming book, Uprooted: Recovering the Legacy of the Places We've Left Behind.

A journalist who focuses on farming, localism, and family, Grace's writing has been published in The Week, The New York Times, Washington Post, The University Bookman, and National Review. In 2020, Grace received the “Conservative Mind Award,” which recognizes conservative leaders under 40, from The American Conservative. She is a native of rural Idaho who currently lives outside of Washington, D.C. with her husband and three children.

More about
Uprooted from Sentinel:

In the tiny farm town of Emmett, Idaho, there are two kinds of people: those who leave and those who stay. Those who leave go in search of greener pastures, better jobs, and college. Those who stay are left to contend with thinning communities, punishing government farm policy, and environmental decay.

Grace Olmstead, now a journalist in Washington, DC, is one who left, and in Uprooted, she examines the heartbreaking consequences of uprooting—for Emmett, and for the greater heartland America.

In anticipation of the themes to be considered during the discussion, our Classic Kirk section features a trio of short articles this month: “Conservatives and the Family ([link removed]) ,” A Review of Wendell Berry’s The Unsettling of America, ([link removed]) and “Mecosta County: Where the Country Spirit is Alive and Well.” ([link removed])

We hope you will join us on February 25, at 7:30 p.m. Eastern Time, for what promises to be a fantastic conversation with a young writer carrying on in the tradition of Russell Kirk and Wendell Berry.

Best regards,

Gerald Russello, editor
The University Bookman
