"You can only control your own life and what you do. Tomorrow isn't here. We just have today. Today, we're fine." Author of Baby Teeth Zoje Stage joins Zibby to discuss her latest novel, Getaway, which is not about a breezy vacation as the title may suggest. Zoje shares how the trauma she endured as a resident of Squirrel Hill — the neighborhood that was home to the 2018 Pittsburgh synagogue shooting — inspired the story's psychological and religious themes, and the parts of herself that she sees in her characters.
