About this listen

In Sara Goodman Confino’s humorous historical novel, GOOD GRIEF, it’s 1963, and Barbara Feldman, a widow of two years, finds her mother-in-law, Ruth, on her doorstep, and determined to ease Barbara’s pain. Instead, her machinations exacerbate Barbara’s healing. At times, Ruth’s antics are as covert as they are funny, and as exasperating as they are touching.

Could you live with your mother-in-law, especially under such sad circumstances?

Sara explains where and how a similar circumstance became the basis for GOOD GRIEF's plot, and why it made it an even greater joy to write it.

She also gives us a hint of her next historical novel, which will resonate greatly with those who identify as "Spring-Nuts" — a.k.a., uber-fans of the greatly beloved living musical legend, Bruce Springsteen. Sara's tale of her own VERY close encounter with The Boss will give you a chuckle and make you wish you were there, too.

Good Grief by Sara Goodman Confino is in bookstores now.
