Instead, her machinations exacerbate Barbara\u2019s healing. At times, Ruth\u2019s antics are as covert as they are funny, and as exasperating as they are touching.   Could you live with your mother-in-law, especially under such sad circumstances?   Sara explains where and how a similar circumstance became the basis for GOOD GRIEF's plot, and why it made it an even greater joy to write it.   She also gives us a hint of her next historical novel, which will resonate greatly with those who identify as "Spring-Nuts" \u2014 a.k.a., uber-fans of the greatly beloved living musical legend, Bruce Springsteen. Sara's tale of her own VERY close encounter with The Boss will give you a chuckle and make you wish you were there, too. Good Grief by Sara Goodman Confino is in bookstores on August 26, 2025.   (c) 2025 Josie Brown ","author_name":"Author Provocateur with Josie Brown","author_url":"https:\/\/sites.libsyn.com\/515033","html":"
