Zibby speaks to life coach and bestselling author Steph Jagger about her thoughtful and staggeringly beautiful new memoir Everything Left to Remember: My Mother, Our Memories, and a Journey Through the Rocky Mountains. Steph describes the incredible road trip she took with her mother, who has early-onset Alzheimer’s; her and her family’s journey from unconscious denial to conscious grieving; and all the beautiful things she has learned about herself in the meantime. She also talks about her love of nature and travel, which are the foundations of her writing, and hints at her experimental new project.
