Episode 174: Interview with Ethan Joella, author of The Top of the World

The Top of the World is the brand new novel by Ethan Joella. Heartbreaking and life-affirming, The Top of the World takes us back to the Poconos during the 1970s and features a young woman searching for answers about her brother’s last days. The Top of the World is a timeless story about memory, grief, second chances, and hope. For this episode, Ethan and I talk about love nostalgia, grief, champagne glass bath-tubs (you’ll just have to listen!), creating his characters, his revisions for this book, what he’s working on next, and so much more!
