This week, I talk with Andrea M. Butler about her debut speculative fiction Mother.

We dive into a wide range of topics, including:

-The origin of the novel’s idea
-Dreams and spiritual communication
-Energy work and spirituality
-Speculative fiction grounded in reality
-The “predictive” nature of fiction
-Capitalism, wealth inequality, and food insecurity
-Religion and evangelical culture
-Community as resistance
-Divine feminine energy
-Hope through storytelling
