In Victoria Garza's new memoir, The Field, she writes about the unspeakable tragedy that took place in her family when she was a child. Between that time and now, Victoria has gone on a journey to understand what took place in the past and what has taken place since then in her own mind.

In this discussion, Victoria and Adam discuss her childhood growing up in the vegetable fields of Ohio and her experience with plant ceremonies and how they've helped to come to terms with the world around her. It's a deeply interesting conversation about opening our minds and learning to accept what the world has given us.
