Jennifer Close, MARRYING THE KETCHUPS: A Novel

Zibby is joined by bestselling novelist Jennifer Close to discuss her latest book, Marrying the Ketchups, which was inspired by a number of things, including her time as a waitress in Chicago. Jennifer shares the original seed of inspiration for the story and the world events that expanded its scope. The two also talk about Jennifer's inspiring career trajectory, what they've each learned about the publishing industry that they never knew as outsiders, and which books Jennifer is currently reading.
