Manage episode 451561830 series 2778524
This winter marks six years since Jennifer Porter and her family survived the deadly Camp Fire, a disaster that claimed 85 lives and burned over 150,000 acres. While Porter was lucky enough to drive through the flames that day, the fire set her on a new, harrowing path: building a new life for herself while healing from trauma. KQED’s Pauline Bartolone checked in with Porter along various stages of her recovery –a journey that continues every day.
Then, we head south to the Still Life Cafe, a French kitchen with North African roots in the Eastern Sierra. The cafe’s many five-star reviews warn customers in a rush: come for a leisurely lunch, or hit the gas station across the street.
