Allison Pataki, THE MAGNIFICENT LIVES OF MARJORIE POST

Three-peat guest Allison Pataki returns to talk about her latest historical novel, The Magnificent Lives of Marjorie Post. Allison and Zibby discuss the number of ways in which Marjorie was ahead of her time, such as how she ran her family's food empire from behind the scenes, hired those in need of work during The Great Depression, opened hospitals and canteens when they were needed most, and even how she sold her yacht to the U.S. Navy to use during World War II. Allison also shares how the pandemic impacted the amount of time she spent immersed in Marjorie's world and how she originally became involved in it.

Allison Pataki, BEAUTY IN THE BROKEN PLACES

Allison: I appreciated in the middle of the crisis when I was being flooded, people putting in their emails, “Don't respond to this right now, but I wanted you to know I'm thinking about you.” Here's their email. They send you their words of love and support, but they remove the burden of you needing to do anything in return. I appreciated that.
