Jillian Medoff asks strangers for help.

Powerful corporate executive by day and successful novelist by night. Jillian Medoff really does do it all. In this episode, Jillian shares how talking to random strangers on the train and sitting in on courtroom trials helped her write her fifth novel, When We Were Bright and Beautiful.  When We Were Bright and Beautiful tells the story of the Quinns—a wealthy but dysfunctional family living in Manhattan's glittering Upper East Side. When Cassie Quinn's brother Billy is arrested for sexual assault, she wants to do everything in her power to protect him, even if that means exposing her own deep, dark secrets to the world.   Get When We Were Bright and Beautiful at bookofthemonth.com.
