On this episode, the full F&F family—Mary Kay Andrews, Kristin Harmel, Kristy Woodson Harvey, plus Ron & Meg—gather with Patti Callahan Henry for a celebration of her new historical novel, The Story She Left Behind.

Patti is the New York Times bestselling author of eighteen novels, including The Secret Book of Flora Lea, Surviving Savannah, and Becoming Mrs. Lewis. She has received numerous awards including the Harper Lee Award for Alabama’s Distinguished Writer of the Year and the Alabama Library Association Book of the Year. She joins us to celebrate the launch of her latest which has already been named an IndieNext pick, a LibraryReads pick, one of B&N’s Best Books of March, a Heather’s Pick for Canada’s Indigo bookstore chain, and a SIBA Read This Next pick, among other accolades. With raves from Louise Penny (“brilliant, riveting, so beautifully written, impossible to put down”) and Shelley Read (“a celebration of family, hope, forgiveness, and the tender generosity of abiding love”), we just know The Story She Left Behind is ready to soar and we are so excited to focus an episode around Patti and her captivating new novel tonight before she embarks on her massive book tour.
