Moms Don’t Have Time to Read Books
Arts:Books
Debut author Courtney Preiss joins Zibby to discuss WELCOME HOME, CAROLINE KLEIN, a warm, big-hearted, laugh-out-loud novel about a newly single young woman who reluctantly returns to her Jersey Shore hometown after her father has a bad fall—not to be his caretaker, but to replace him in his local men’s softball league. Courtney talks about her protagonist, Caroline, whose life unravels with the loss of her job, apartment, and boyfriend in rapid succession. She delves into themes of identity, love, heartbreak, mischances, what-ifs, and returning home. Finally, she reflects on her path to writing, the role of humor in her life, navigating the publishing industry, and the importance of finding community as a writer.
