Melissa L. Sevigny’s BRAVE THE WILD RIVER (W.W. Norton) received the second honorable mention in the Rachel Carson 2024 Environment Book Awards. The judges said: "This lively account of botanists Elzada Clover's and Lois Jotter's 1938 journey down the perilous Colorado River is a tale of riveting adventure, pioneering research and intrepid female scientists braving the era's male-dominated profession. Science journalist Melissa Sevigny deftly plumbs letters and diaries to bring these trail-blazing characters to life."
In People, trauma therapist Meghan Riordan Jarvis recommended her favorite books about grief and included Mary-Frances O’Connor PhD’s THE GRIEVING BRAIN (HarperOne).
