What makes us choose to love the people we love? When things fall apart, who will be at our sides to help us pick up the pieces? These are questions Emily Giffin explores in The Summer Pact, her latest best selling novel. In this episode, you’ll hear about Emily’s journey from managing the Wake Forest men’s basketball team to pursuing a law career before becoming a successful writer. We’ll talk about the writing process, the integration of social issues into her narratives, and how the authenticity of her characters matters. And of course, she’ll share plenty about her love for Mother So Dear, including when she and the WF basketball team ruined Coach K’s birthday with a Duke defeat one year.
