This is a story about how books are born

Christie interviews Lisa-Jo today and takes us all behind the scenes of the writing of Lisa-Jo's new book, The Middle Matters, which is on sale everywhere today!

How she ended up on her own book cover, what people said when she decided to write about her muffin top, and how she turned a collection of stories about completely ordinary life into something every woman (even those like Christie who don't share some of the same sports-parenting narrative) could relate to. 

Did Lisa-Jo's book show up in your house today too? Won't you take a selfie with the book and share it on Instagram and tell @lisajobaker what your favorite story was.

You can hear what other women have said their favorite stories were over here.

This book is a new way to SEE the day.
