Same Bright Stars | Top Shelf with Carol Ann Tack

The Top of the World is the brand new novel by Ethan Joella. Heartbreaking and life-affirming, The Top of the World takes us back to the Poconos during the 1970s and features a young woman searching for answers about her brother’s last days. The Top of the World is a timeless story about memory, grief, second chances, and hope.

For this episode, Ethan and I talk about love nostalgia, grief, champagne glass bath-tubs (you’ll just have to listen!), creating his characters, his revisions for this book, what he’s working on next, and so much more!

As always, thank you so much for joining me, Ethan!
