This week I’m joined by 5 time author Amy Poeppel, whose brand new novel Far and Away takes us on a laugh-filled adventure of a house swap between families in Texas and Germany. Amy shares the personal connection she has with Germany, the quirky cultural nuances she loved weaving into the story, and the humor that makes her books such a delight. We also chat about what’s next for her writing—and she leaves us with five fantastic book recommendations you won’t want to miss!
