Your Summer, Your Series: Author Spotlight - AJ Pellegrino
Read Furiously
I first came up with the idea for The Path Home in 2015. Its premise was different, it had no name, and I’m pretty sure I had planned on it being a short story; but at its core I always wanted to tell a story about two girls falling in love, the sometimes turbulent but loving relationship between a mother and daughter, and how magic interweaves humans and nature together.
Over the years I've written Bryony and Iris' tale many different ways, but this was finally the one that felt right. I think every post grad can relate to the dread that sets in once you’re thrust into the real world, as well as the unnatural feeling of being back in your parent’s house after living on your own. What’s a haunted forest and a supernatural ex going to add? More stress?
