My New Book
BETWEEN BOOKS arrives September 22nd
It’s here! People magazine revealed the cover of my upcoming book Between Books: How I Started Over, Took Some Chances, and Found the Plot at 11 am. Here it is!
I spent so long on the title and cover, asking for advice left and right. (I’ll show you some of the rejected versions another time.) Then, one night, I got out of bed, inspired, at 3 am and took photos of my office/library with a stack of printouts of many essays — some of which made it into the book, some of which I’ve shared here — on my couch. That’s what became the cover.
I’m really excited. And nervous. But mostly excited. The essays are open, raw, sometimes funny, sometimes sad, and deeply personal.
I’m hoping that my past decade of extreme change — going from a stay-at-home mom of four on the Upper East Side to getting divorced and remarried and launching a career, moving, gaining and losing weight, gaining and losing friends — can help.
You’re more than welcome to pre-order the book. Would love that! And please spread the word! Questions? Comments?! Thanks for reading!
