In this interview, I chat with Penny Haw about Follow Me to Africa, how and why she decided to write about Mary Leakey, writing about a real person, drafting a dual timeline story, creating a fictional character to help tell Mary's story, a strong sense of place, and much more.

Penny's recommended reads are:

The Trial of Mrs. Rhinelander by Denny S. Bryce
The Kennedy Girl by Julia Bryan Thomas
Happy Is the One by Katie Allen
