"The ending of this book is one of the most beautifully written final chapters that I have ever worked on in my twenty-plus year career.... It's the most contemplative and gorgeously realized piece of writing about characters who you have really come to hold close to your heart."
—Rachel Kahan, editor of The Heiress
This week's podcast episode features a conversation between Molly Greeley, author of The Heiress, and her editor at William Morrow, Rachel Kahan.
