Elaine Roth, THE MIDNIGHT GARDEN

Zibby interviews debut author Elaine Roth about THE MIDNIGHT GARDEN, a hopeful and heartfelt story of a young widow’s journey as she tries to move forward after an incredible loss, with elements of magical realism and second-chance love. Elaine, a young widow herself, reveals how her experiences influenced the narrative, and she and Zibby delve into the central question of whether one can find love again after losing an unconditional love. They also talk about the small-town setting of the book, the power of writing as a coping mechanism, and the growing network of books on young widowhood. Finally, Elaine shares details of her writing process and her best advice to aspiring writers.
