Podcast:Totally Booked with Zibby Published On: Wed Nov 13 2024 Description: Author Susan Rieger joins Zibby to discuss LIKE MOTHER, LIKE MOTHER, an enthralling novel about three generations of strong-willed women unknowingly shaped by the secrets buried in their family’s past. Susan describes how her own family secrets and complex relationship with her mother inspired this story and its central character, Lila, a brilliant, career-focused executive editor at a major newspaper who feels inherently unsuited for motherhood. Susan also talks about her journey through psychoanalysis, the power of introspection, and her journey from law to writing. Finally, she shares the news of a TV adaptation—and who she hopes will be cast as Lila!Purchase on Bookshop: https://bit.ly/3CjYtACShare, rate, & review the podcast, and follow Zibby on Instagram @zibbyowens!** Check out the Z.I.P. membership program—Zibby’s Important People!
