Patti Callahan Henry in the Spotlight

Patti Callahan Henry stopped by The Book Report Network offices last month, and we taped a quick video interview with her (with my Flip camera). We hope to do more of these with authors who come by in the weeks and months to come.

Patti's latest novel, Driftwood Summer, is now in stores and last night we got word that it is on the New York Times bestseller list for June 21st, which was quite lovely to hear. If you're in a book group, this interview will give you some nice background to the story, which is about three sisters who reunite to save the family's beach-community bookstore. Patti shares anecdotes about writing Driftwood Summer, gathering research while she was on tour last year and some of the book clubs she has met with over the years.
