In a bid to feel close to Dotty again, Rosie reaches out to all of Dotty\u2019s contacts via email and starts learning about her life through the eyes of her many friends, while also finding out who she really wants to be herself.\xa0\nJaclyn chats with us about Rosie\u2019s journey of self-discovery, sibling dynamics, the writing process, finding an agent, the career advice she gave to herself, and a preview of book two!\nListen now to Jaclyn\u2019s story wherever you get your podcasts.
