In this heartfelt episode, we chat with debut novelist Jennifer O'Brien, whose publishing journey took a surprising and inspiring turn. After a real-life dream of buying a fixer-upper didn’t pan out, she turned the experience into fiction—crafting a novel rich with themes of love, self-discovery, and the true meaning of home.
We explore how real-life experiences influence story development, the deeper messages she hopes readers will carry with them, and the pivotal moments she leaned on intuition to guide her path—from finding the right literary agent to choosing the best publishing home for her book.
If you’re a writer chasing your dream or a reader who loves stories grounded in emotional truth, this episode will leave you inspired.
