Summary

Author Nicholas Sparks (The Notebook) joins Chelsea to talk about why he kept his day job even after a million-dollar book advance, the weirdest places someone’s proposed in front of him, and the everyday stuff that romantic gestures are really made of. Then: A freelance writer wonders if she’ll ever be able to write something for herself instead of just The Man. A memoirist struggles to revisit her writing. And a sister reconnects with an estranged family member, but worries the secret will destroy her parents.
