Corie Adjmi, THE MARRIAGE BOX

Guest host Julie Chavez interviews award-winning author and repeat MDHTTRB guest Corie Adjmi about The Marriage Box, a fascinating coming-of-age novel about a young Jewish Syrian girl whose family moves back to the Orthodox community, forcing her to reckon with new customs–like getting married at 18! After revealing the story was inspired by her own life experiences, Corie describes the baby steps she took over twenty years to get this book out into the world. The two also discuss the “marriage box”, teenagers, music, and perfectionism.Purchase on Zibby's Bookshop: https://bit.ly/3OKwxtWPurchase on Bookshop: https://bit.ly/3OPl0cPSubscribe to Zibby's weekly newsletter here.Purchase Moms Don't Have Time to Read Books merch here.
