Hi Miss Harbour! Thorn and Jack was one of my favorite books of 2014, I love it so much! I was just wondering why the word 'emory' is capitalized in the book? Almost every mention of it has a capital letter, and I couldn't figure out why. Thank you for the amazing story, I can't wait for Briar Queen!

Katherine Harbour:
Unfortunately when one listens to a book some things can be "lost in translation". For example, I can't see the spelling of the "emory" you mentioned repeatedly in Thorn Jack. Is it "EMORY" or "EMERY"? Either way, in the various contexts it didn't make much sense to me; especially since emory oak only really appears in the US in the southwest (certainly not in NY) and as one reader mentions above it isn't an ivy.
