When author Emma Straub’s dad got sick, he told her one night in the hospital, “You should write a book about a daughter visiting her father in the hospital.” So that’s what she did, and that book became This Time Tomorrow. Emma and Nora talk about Emma’s latest novel and the realities of grief after losing a parent.
