Show Notes
Zibby is joined by #1 New York Times bestselling author Jeannette Walls to discuss Hang the Moon, an energetic and propulsive Prohibition-era story about an indomitable young woman in a world of lawlessness, secrets, scandals, and death. Jeannette describes her love of history and her fascination with prohibition, which stems from a childhood with an alcoholic father. She also talks about her feisty protagonist, her extensive historical research and obsessive re-writing, and her relationship with fiction. She also reveals what it was like to see her memoir The Glass Castle come to life in its film adaptation and what she is up to now–a beautiful, small-town life.
