During the time it’s taken me to edit and post this interview, Louise has come out with not one, but two more books. I know you’ll love them: The Beautiful Mystery (read an excerpt), How the Light Gets In (read an excerpt), and The Long Way Home.
Great interview! Looking forward to picking up a copy of The Long Way Home soonest!
