In this episode 234, guest hosted by novelist Sarah Archer, we visit with Joani Elliott, author of The Audacity of Sara Grayson, in which Sara Grayson, a 32–year-old greeting card writer, is tasked in her mother’s will to write the final book in her bestselling suspense series.

Despite her lack of confidence, Sara takes on the project, even with her mother’s publisher actively working against her. As family secrets begin to surface, she realizes she may threaten her mother’s legacy.

Maddie Dawson, bestselling author of Matchmaking for Beginners, had this to say about the book, “Joani Elliott has written an enjoyable, funny, page-turning novel about the ups and downs of a woman’s quest to find herself and the family she thought she knew.”
