Summary

Zibby is joined by #1 New York Times bestselling novelist, Heather Morris, to talk about the third book in her trilogy of Holocaust novels, Three Sisters. The two discuss how miraculous each of the three sisters' stories is, why she has chosen to write true stories as fiction instead of biographies, and what it means to Heather to know her books are being taught as part of the curriculum in schools around the world. Heather also shares how she initially became involved in this family of narratives as well as why she was sought out to write them because she herself isn't Jewish.
