Bestselling author Alyson Richman joins Zibby to discuss THE MISSING PAGES, a haunting and soulful story inspired by the legend of Harry Widener, a passionate book collector who died on the Titanic. Alyson shares the real history behind the Widener Library, the book’s dual-timeline structure, and how themes of grief, love, art, and our enduring connection to those we’ve lost shaped the novel. She also reflects on her feelings of being an outsider and her lifelong love of books.
