In this episode, local author Dr. Ashley Baker speaks with Ross about her new book The Ashes of Us, which is a novel that navigates themes of trauma, paternal love, and the devastating price of retribution. Dr. Baker talks about her inspiration for the book and how she's utilized her experiences and knowledge to write a book that is ultimately a tribute to her own father, who was a forensic pathologist.
Dr. Baker is a clinical psychologist (PsyD), who practices and lives in Forsyth County, and is author of two psychological suspense novels, including The Furious Others.
Dr. Baker will be at the Sharon Forks Library on October 22, 2025 at 7:00PM for a reading and author talk for The Ashes of Us.
Stop by the Sharon Forks branch and peek in the children’s area to see wonderful artwork created by students of Rabbitbrush Art Studio. These were created to represent the tradition of making wishes underneath the full moon during Chuseok, also called Korean Thanksgiving.
Each painting is in the shape of a Moon Jar which utilizes a soft, round shape that is reminiscent of the full moon. The artists use Minhwa, Korean folk painting techniques, and traditional symbols to represent their hopes for the future.
