She also talks about her decades-long career at Norton (she is now an executive editor and vice president!) and the books she recently edited that she is very excited about.

Zibby interviews bestselling author Ann Hood about Fly Girl, a warm coming-of-age memoir about her time as a TWA flight attendant in the 70s and 80s.

She also talks about her brother’s tragic passing, her wonderful book tour (filled with flight attendant fans!), and the books on her TBR list.
