I am SO EXCITED to have an interview with author Lian Dolan to discuss her latest novel, The Marriage Sabbatical. Lian is the author of 5 novels, and the creator and host of the award winning podcast, Satellite Sisters.

The Marriage Sabbatical is a fun and insightful read about an x generation couple who has been married for over twenty years and decide to take a one year sabbatical from their marriage.

After twenty three years of building careers and raising children together both Jason and Nicole are ready for a break from their daily life. While Jason bikes his way across a continent Nicole rediscovers herself in Santa Fe as she confronts temptations and gains a new perspective on her partnership.

Spoilers will abound! Lian and I talk about the plot of this book, the characters and the outcome, which I found to be a satisfying conclusion.

Lian's Bio: Lian Dolan is a writer and talker. She is the author of Lost and Found in Paris, The Sweeney Sisters, Helen of Pasadena, and Elizabeth the First Wife, and is a regular columnist for Pasadena Magazine. She's written regular columns for O, The Oprah Magazine, Working Mother Magazine and Pasadena Magazine. She is also the co-creator and producer of Satellite Sisters, an award-winning podcast and online community for women, which she hosts with her four sisters. She graduated from Pomona College in Claremont, California with a degree in Classics and now lives in Pasadena with her husband and grown sons.
