Totally Booked with Zibby

Laura Diamond, SHELTER US: A Novel


Listen Later

Special re-release: In support of authors who have lost their homes in the tragic LA fires, we will be resharing their podcast episodes.


Laura Nicole Diamond joins to discuss her 2015 bestselling novel, SHELTER US, and how it changed her life. Laura tells Zibby about jumping from working as a civil rights lawyer to being a novelist, as well as what she did to hold herself to the commitment of writing it. Laura also shares how including a Guatemalan character in the novel led her family to foster a young Guatemalan refugee seeking asylum, what she learned from her experience volunteering with the houseless community in LA, and why she’s currently working on a memoir.
