Lynn Steger Strong, FLIGHT: A Novel

Zibby interviews repeat MDHTTRB guest Lynn Steger Strong about Flight, a powerful and propulsive new novel about a family and the resentment, financial tension, heartache, and love they experience on the first Christmas without their matriarch. Lynn discusses the themes she most enjoyed exploring in this project–family, shame, parenthood, middle age, and grief. She also shares the personal losses that inspired her to write this story, the details of her next project (an explosive story set in Florida!), and the writing strategies that help her plan and structure her books.
