Adele Griffin, THE FAVOR

National Book Award finalist Adele Griffin joins Zibby to discuss The Favor, a wise and warmhearted story of two very different women who make an unexpected connection when one carries a baby for the other. Adele describes how her own fertility struggles and surrogacy journey inspired this story and then discusses the topics she enjoyed exploring, from unconventional female friendships to vintage clothing. She also talks about her background in children’s books, shares her best advice for aspiring writers, and reveals what book she's currently reading. Purchase on Bookshop: https://bit.ly/46dMMFEShare, rate, & review the podcast, and follow Zibby on Instagram @zibbyowens!** Want more?
