Dear John,

You know the trope from countless movies and books—and maybe you even lived it:

The talented, ambitious young person eager to escape hometown life and make it big out in the world.

Gracy Olmstead knows that story well.

Born and raised in a small Idaho farm town, she now lives outside of Washington, D.C., where she has built a career as an acclaimed journalist and author.

And I want to make sure you hear her incredible insights on the experience of uprooting yourself ([link removed]) —and especially its costs.

Tune in Thursday, May 6, at 7 pm ET ([link removed]) , to hear Gracy share those insights on this live episode of Conservative Conversations with ISI.

She’ll join Johnny Burtka and me to talk about her new book, Uprooted: Recovering the Legacy of the Places We’ve Left Behind. ([link removed])

The American Spectator hails Uprooted as “an indispensable guide for those who are wrestling with their place in an increasingly rootless world.” National Review calls it a “beautiful book.”

You’ll quickly see why Gracy is often compared to Wendell Berry. ([link removed]) She will discuss:
* what “rootedness” means in a rootless world

* how to resist the dangerous temptation of nostalgia

* what we sacrifice for profit and “progress”

* why efficiency and low consumer prices aren’t the only values worth defending . . .

* . . . and much more!

Because this is a live episode, you’ll be able to submit your own questions in real time.

So reserve your spot now! ([link removed])

I look forward to seeing you then!
