We have the perfect episode for the holiday season–we are talking with Josie Silver about her newest book, A Winter in New York. We talk about the inspiration to set the story in New York, how grief reshapes our approach to love, and we learn some interesting facts about the history behind Valentine's Day.

When Iris takes a walk through Little Italy, a family-run gelateria catches her eyes, and she realizes that it's the same shop that is in an old photo of her mother’s. Curious, Iris returns the next day and learns that the sole keeper of their family’s gelato recipe is sick and the shop is in danger of closing. When Iris samples the gelato, she realizes that their gelato and her mother’s are one in the same.
