Alka Joshi, THE SECRET KEEPER OF JAIPUR: A Novel

"I read books so that I could learn from those characters and what they decided to do with those obstacles in their lives. Now, I get to write those characters." Alka Joshi joins Zibby and shares how her latest book, The Secret Keeper of Jaipur, stemmed from her readers' requests for more stories about the characters in her first novel, The Henna Artist. Alka and Zibby also discuss why sometimes it's better to become a writer later in life and where we'll see Alka's characters in the trilogy's third and final book.
