Sarah sits down with Heather Frese, the acclaimed author of The Saddest Girl on the Beach. This poignant novel takes listeners on a journey through the raw and emotional landscapes of grief, love, and the complex dynamics of friendship.

Join Sarah as she explores the intricacies of Heather’s storytelling, from the windswept shores of North Carolina’s Outer Banks to the deeply personal struggles of Charlotte McConnell, a young woman grappling with the loss of her father. As Charlotte retreats to a seaside inn owned by her best friend’s family, she finds herself entangled in their own turmoil, and an unexpected love triangle emerges. Will the island's natural beauty and the close-knit community help Charlotte find the solace she seeks, or are the forces at play too powerful to overcome?

Heather Frese, winner of the Lee Smith Novel Prize and author of The Baddest Girl on the Planet, masterfully crafts a narrative filled with human frailty, longing, and the unyielding power of nature. In this interview, Heather delves into her inspiration behind the novel, the themes that drive her work, and what readers can take away from Charlotte’s story.
