Zibby interviews New York Times bestselling author Sarah Addison Allen about Other Birds, a whimsical and poetic new novel about 18-year-old Zoey Hennessey, the South Carolina island apartment she inherits, and the quirky and enigmatic neighbors she meets. Sarah talks about the bestselling debut that launched her career and the earth-shattering events that interrupted it, from a sudden cancer diagnosis to the deaths of her mother and sister just a few days apart. She describes how grief and trauma impacted her life and her books and then touches on her daily routines, the books she is reading, her love of food, and her strategies for coping with anxiety.Purchase on Amazon or Bookshop.Amazon: bit.ly/3hOpy56Bookshop: bit.ly/3Ge5gufKeep your plants alive with the Planta App!
