Therese Anne Fowler, A GOOD NEIGHBORHOOD

Published: April 4, 2020, 9 a.m.

b'Therese Anne Fowler is the\\xa0New York Times\\xa0best-selling author of novels\\xa0Z: A Novel of Zelda Fitzgerald, A Well-Behaved Woman, and her most recent novel A Good Neighborhood. This contemporary suburban drama centers on a conflict between two families, one black and one white, as they deal with a damaged historic oak tree in the black family\'s backyard. This book had such a twist of an ending but I won\\u2019t say a word. I enjoyed chatting with Therese about her personal connection to the material and why she felt writing this story was a call to activism in these troubled times. Therese and I discussed the research and homework that went into writing from the perspective of a different race and why she strayed from her historical fiction background. Be sure to catch\\xa0Therese sharing\\xa0the truly magical moment she\\xa0knew she was\\xa0a writer. Therese\\u2019s first book was a source of comfort during a critical time in my life and I had such a lovely full circle moment when we sat down to chat! You just never know where life will lead!
