Description: This month's JHBC selection, The Berry Pickers, by Nova Scotian author Amanda Peters has found a particularly receptive audience within book club communities, including the Jen Hatmaker Book Club, for exploring universal human emotions and experiences, and for  examining unique cultural perspectives.  By masterfully blending her father's compelling stories as a Maine berry picker with her own extensive career in Indigenous governance, The Berry Pickers delves into a unique and original plot surrounding a Mi'kmaw family that grapples with the corrosive effects of guilt and shame, and the possibility of redemption. Peters reveals how the debut novel initially took shape as a short story, but as the beautifully-flawed characters and tendrilled themes began to unfold, the narrative organically expanded into the full-fledged novel that it is now, which has been translated into an impressive 22 languages and has been awarded the Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Fiction.  Thought-provoking Quotes: I couldn't have written this story when I was 21 because I didn't have all of the life experience that I have now. – Amanda Peters Fiction readers are just better people because literature is about the human condition; it helps us develop empathy.  – Amanda Peters I love the writing process. I love creating a story. I love that high you get when you get it just right, when a sentence does exactly what I want it to do. – Amanda Peters Resources Mentioned in This Episode: The Berry Pickers: A Novel by Amanda Peters - https://amzn.to/4hAYfUM Waiting for the Long Night Moon: Stories by Amanda Peters - https://amzn.to/4hGNTTw John Steinbeck books - https://amzn.to/4c1B1pJ John Steinbeck Center - https://steinbeck.org/ Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Fiction - https://www.ala.org/carnegie-medals/2024-winners Pearly Everlasting: A Novel by Tammy Armstrong - https://amzn.to/420or5r All the Young Men by Ruth Coker Burks - https://amzn.to/420oT3D What Strange Paradise: A novel by Omar El Akkad - https://amzn.to/4kXs8l6 Guest's Links: Website - https://amandapetersauthor.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/amandapetersauthor/ Twitter - https://x.com/amandapetersaut?lang=en Connect with Jen!

While Charlotte is already looking at wedding venues in the UK, Helli has finally found an apartment without mould in Vietnam. But together this week we're talking about the value of small, gentle goals and how our mindset towards tangible, measurable goals has shifted over the last year. Big New Year goals can often lead to more stress, but gentle goals are all about a "better you" without giving you more on your plate to stress about - those 1% changes each day that build a foundation for the bigger goals further down the line.

Today on Homo Sapiens we remember the men who were shamed and neglected during their final days living with AIDS. We also hear the personal stories of how groundbreaking medical advances in the 90's transformed the lives of people living with AIDS. Today, to mark World Aids Day, we hear 3 sets of memories of those who lived through the AIDS crisis. We hear from: Ruth Coker Burks, the inspirational activist who tended to AIDS victims and suffers when nobody else would; It's A Sin creator Russel T Davies, who reveals his shyness surrounding gay sauna's in the 80's ultimately saved his life; and finally, we hear the story of New York couple Frank and Raphael, who share their experiences of living and embracing life with HIV.

di Daniele Biaggi | Il confetto di questo mese ci porta in Arkansas, negli anni '80, quando Ruth Coker Burks sale agli onori delle cronache come l'Angelo del Cimitero: nel pieno dell'epidemia di AIDS, si è presa cura di tanti ragazzi e uomini rifiutati dalle famiglie, sostenendoli in vita e garantendo loro “ospitalità” anche dopo la morte.

As a young woman in the mid-1980s, Ruth Coker Burks had a chance encounter with a man with Aids, who had been left to die alone in a quarantined hospital room in Hot Springs, Arkansas in the US. She stepped in to comfort him in his final hours, and word soon spread that she was the only person willing to help such men in this deeply conservative town. At the height of the Aids crisis she developed a huge support network for gay men with HIV who had been abandoned by their families, even burying some of those who died in her own family cemetery. Ruth tells Emily Webb how she was vilified by her church and community for her work, but became a vocal campaigner and Aids educator.

"How can I help?" With those four words, a young, single mother from Arkansas became a warrior at the onset of the HIV/AIDS crisis in the 1980's.  Ruth Coker Burks tells us her incredible story, rife with sass, grit and undeniable love for all the people she cared for, when the rest of the world was rejecting them. Threatened by the Ku Klux Klan, shunned by her town, Ruth never wavered.   We are celebrating PRIDE by honoring her, the Cemetery Angel of Arkansas. 

It's been election central in the UK with Scottish elections, mayoral elections, local elections AND a couple of by's, so Kim and Luca spend some time talking about the results - the highs, the lows and the voting systems.

Ruth Coker Burks was a young single mum in Hot Springs, Arkansas, when she began helping the dying men everyone else had rejected

Derek and Kieran are honored to talk to Ruth Coker Burks. Ruth is a former caregiver for AIDS victims and an AIDS awareness advocate based in Hot Springs, Arkansas, USA.  During the AIDS epidemic in the late 1980's, she used her salary as a real estate agent to care for AIDS patients whose families and communities had abandoned them. Due to the stigma surrounding the disease at the time, she was often the patients' only caregiver until they eventually died. Ruth came to the aid of Jimmy, a young man dying of AIDS in hospital. She noticed no one would go into the room to bring his medication or food. The moment Ruth entered Jimmy's room and soothed him as he died, her life and that of countless other men would change forever. Ruth is additionally recognized for burying more than forty AIDS victims in her family cemetery and helping those struggling to get assistance with housing, medication and to die with dignity and someone to call a friend. A truly remarkable lady who has recently released her memoir, All the Young Men, with her co writer, Kevin Carr O' Leary.

For natural extrovert Damian Barr, lockdown has presented a new set of challenges. Without being able to enjoy unplanned, unscheduled interactions and the layers of connection we have in our normal life, he's had to learn how to live in the present and slow down. In this brilliantly insightful and honest chat, we speak to Damian about how he has coped with the past year, and how, having lived through the Aids pandemic of the 80s and 90s, and survived a traumatic childhood, he was unusually well equipped to deal with the immediate emergencies thrown at us by Covid. Damian also opens up about his experience of online bullying on social media last summer – and how a forced break from digital platforms has led him to entirely reassess his relationship with social media, consider what he puts online and also rediscover a love of speaking on the phone. He also talks about why he's gone back into therapy and how he's approaching 2021 (it's about dreams, not plans). Thanks so much to Damian for talking to us – we hope you enjoy it.
