A Conversation with the Author

Q: What inspired you to write The Sweet Smell of Home?

A: I wrote The Sweet Smell of Home as a way to process my own grief after the death of my husband. I wanted to share my story with others who have experienced loss, to let them know that they are not alone and that there is hope and healing to be found.

Q: What do you hope readers will take away from your book?

A: I hope that readers will find comfort and inspiration in my story. I want them to know that even in the darkest of times, there is always hope and healing to be found. I also hope that my book will help to break down the stigma surrounding grief and loss, and that it will encourage people to talk about their experiences.

Q: What are some of the lessons you learned on your journey?

A: I learned the importance of self-care, forgiveness, and gratitude. I also learned that it is important to allow yourself to grieve at your own pace, and that there is no right or wrong way to do so. I also learned that even though grief never truly goes away, it does get easier to manage over time.
