J. Nicole Jones, LOW COUNTRY

"I started writing just to remember her stories and her voice in this world that doesn't exist anymore." Zibby is joined by fellow memoir enthusiast J. Nicole Jones to discuss her upcoming memoir, Low Country, and the family secrets that it reveals. Nicole tells Zibby about the process of rewriting her grandmother's stories after her first draft was stolen, how her South Carolina hometown became its own character, and what it's like to hear your life told through your father's songs. Purchase the book on Amazon or Bookshop.Amazon: https://amzn.to/3fQcngJBookshop: https://bit.ly/39RyaAY
