Zibby interviews author Jessica Elisheva Emerson about OLIVE DAYS, a stunning, smoldering debut novel about a young mother in an Orthodox Jewish community of LA whose quest for authenticity erupts in a passionate affair following a night of wife-swapping. Jessica delves into her novel’s theme of duty vs. desire and her protagonist's struggle with faith, intimacy, identity, and a crumbling marriage. She also shares her deep research into Orthodox Jewish customs, her writing process, and how current events and rising antisemitism have impacted Jewish authors like herself.
