In Conversation With … Eric Walker, author
Description
As an amateur genealogist and family historian, Eric Walker was impelled to write his debut novel Lost Souls Recovered when he discovered the richness of family stories through research of historical documents and those stories told to him by relatives.
As he read historical documents and talked to relatives, he envisioned a way to bring to life in fiction form many of his ancestors who lived a hardscrabble life and who worked to overcome hardship. Eric believes the written word can unlock doors as well as the imagination and unite our spirits through our visions.
A lawyer who lives in Ohio, Eric is working on a second novel involving land loss in the early post-Reconstruction era.

In today’s conversation, we’ll be talking about the importance, and the value, of understanding the past—our own and that of others.
