Steven Rowley: “Inspired by a Very Real Love Story”

from Open Book with Jenna · host Jenna Bush Hager', Steven Rowley, Byron Lane

While New York Times bestselling author Steven Rowley writes about life and love with heart and humor in his novels, his own real life romance is one for the books. Rowley joins Jenna Bush Hager to talk about his novel “The Celebrants,” a recent Read with Jenna pick, and why he believes all parts of life — the happy, the sad, the messy and the beautiful — are worth celebrating. The two are joined by Rowley’s husband and author of “Big Gay Wedding”,  Byron Lane. They discuss the couple's beautiful love story, one as romantic and inspiring as the stories you’ll find in the pages of their books, and navigating life’s highs and lows together, including Lane’s cancer battle and the recent release of their latest novels. Follow the ‘Read with Jenna’ podcast now to hear new episodes every week. And the fun doesn’t stop here!
