From Zibby's Asheville Retreat! Kristy Woodson Harvey, A HAPPIER LIFE

In this special episode (a live recording at Zibby’s Asheville Retreat!), Zibby interviews New York Times bestselling author and southern sensation Kristy Woodson Harvey about A HAPPIER LIFE, a beautiful, big-hearted novel about a young woman who returns to her grandparent’s long-abandoned home in Beaufort, North Carolina, to clean it out... and uncovers her family's secrets. Kristy talks about the amazing way homes preserve stories, the value of connecting people (via dinner parties!), and the autobiographical elements in the novel—like Salt, the dog! She also reveals the novel’s alternative titles and reads from her unique prologue.Purchase on Bookshop: https://bit.ly/3ztrAjJShare, rate, & review the podcast, and follow Zibby on Instagram @zibbyowens!** Want more?
