Sisterhood on the Scenic Route: Inside Mary Kay Andrews’ Road Trip
<p>Best-selling author Mary Kay Andrews joins Chapter Chat to talk about her latest release, Road Trip, a story rooted in sisterhood, self-discovery, and a setting that whisks readers away to Ireland. Andrews shares why she always makes her readers the same promise: you’ll be happy at the end, even when the journey gets messy. We also dig into how her own research road trip helped shape the novel’s world, why she loves weaving a dual timeline, and what she believes today’s readers want most: escapism with characters and conflicts that still feel true. Plus, the former journalist discusses her continued support for a free press, and how that perspective informs the stories she tells.</p>
