Part One of our intimate conversation with Elizabeth Gilbert:

1. When Glennon called Liz about Abby–and Liz then told Glennon about Rayya.

2. The moment Liz imploded her life as she knew it.

3. How, after a decade of friendship, Liz finally told Rayya that she was in love with her.

4. The brutal chaos of Rayya’s addiction at the end of her life–and what Liz had to do and say to protect herself.

About Liz:

Elizabeth Gilbert is author of the international bestseller, EAT PRAY LOVE, which has been translated into over thirty languages, and sold over 12 million copies worldwide. The book became so popular that Time Magazine named Elizabeth as one of the 100 most influential people in the world. In 2010, Elizabeth published a follow-up to EAT PRAY LOVE called COMMITTED—an instant a #1 New York Times Bestseller, as well as BIG MAGIC: CREATIVE LIVING BEYOND FEAR. She is author of two novels: THE SIGNATURE OF ALL THINGS, and CITY OF GIRLS. And she is the creator of the Onward Book Club, which takes place on her Instagram via a live chat, as a way of spotlighting, studying, and celebrating the work of Black women authors.

Elizabeth divides her time between New York City, rural New Jersey, and everywhere else.
