Patti Callahan Henry, THE SECRET BOOK OF FLORA LEA

Guest host Julie Chavez chats with New York Times bestselling author Patti Callahan Henry about The Secret Book of Flora Lea, an enchanting and refreshingly original novel about a woman who discovers a rare book that has connections to her past, including long-held secrets about her missing sister and their childhood spent in the English countryside during WWII. Patti talks about her spectacular audiobook (narrated by actress Cynthia Erivo!) and then reveals how this story came to be. She also discusses the book’s themes (from young love to the universality of story-telling), how she finds meaning in her daily life, and what she loves most about being a writer. Purchase on Bookshop: https://bit.ly/45yWrXnShare, rate, & review the podcast, and follow Zibby on Instagram @zibbyowens!** Want more?
