More beautiful blurbage, this time from the wonderful Patti Callahan Henry. More happy tears.

Huge thanks to the incredibly talented and kind Patti Callahan Henry for taking the time out of her very busy schedule to gift me with this happy-making pre-pub blurb about Invisible As Air:

Zoe Fishman’s characters are as vibrant and alive as your dearest friends. Invisible as Air introduces us to a family on the edge of a cliff, teetering over with their grief and need. With psychological acuity, Fishman cracks open the family and takes us to the place where there is beauty in brokenness, where there is light in the dark, and where we can find intimacy in our honesty. I fell in love with each character as they searched for meaning and connection. From the first stunning choice to the last, I could not put this novel down.

- Patti Callahan Henry, USA Today and NYT Bestselling novelist of Becoming Mrs. Lewis.

Invisible As Air's First Blurb. I cried. Happy tears, don't worry.

Writing is such a solitary endeavor, which is a huge part of why I love it so much. Finishing this novel, like my others, was exhilarating and terrifying at once, the latter because now of course people are going to (hopefully) READ it in September when it's published.

 

Yesterday, I received a tremendous gift from a writer and human whose work I admire and respect so much: Joshilyn Jackson. She read the galley and....she liked it! She really liked it! Beyond grateful for her time and enthusiasm. Such a salve for my soul:

 

Zoe Fishman is a gifted writer; her characters are so alive they seem to breathe. INVISIBLE AS AIR poignantly reveals a family on the point of fracture, each looking for escape, each isolated, each desperate to connect. Though it speaks to one of the most difficult issues facing our nation with wisdom and deep grace, this is not an “issue” book. This is a book about people, flawed but striving, broken but hopeful. Once I started, I couldn’t put it down.

The Journey

here they are. the very last edits on my new book. and here is my ari, helping me ship them off.

when i started this book, my husband died. and as i was finishing it, my dad died. what a time capsule of grief and pain and yet, still - in this moment - triumph.

my dad used to say: “it’s all about the journey, jack.”

amen. 💜

The best dad. My greatest teacher.

his praise was hard-earned but to receive it gave my heart wings; made me think i could do anything as long as i worked hard and never gave up. may i pass on his wisdom and integrity to my boys.

forever in my heart; his voice in my head; his laughter in my ears.
