Melanie Jacobson's Southern Roots

If you thought Melanie Jacobson wrote New Orleans like a local would, you were right!

Later, her Earth Science class passed around chapters of whatever Melanie had written on the school bus that day. Listen in to find out whether grown-up Melanie's books earn her a new pair of shoes or a new pair of eyeglasses!
