Deb Caletti talks about her new book:
“Honey, Baby, Sweetheart is about a girl and her mother with very screwed-up love lives. They become involved in reuniting a pair of geriatric lovers and embarking on a road trip to California with a car full of old people. The seed of this story came from an aged family member separated from her love. The old man of the couple said of her when they were to be separated: “But she’s my soul mate.” This touched me, and became a major part of the story. I got a lot of the book’s ideas from my own life and my children. I am definitely the kind of mother who sucks up everything accidentally with the vacuum, and shares the human failings of Ruby’s mother. The place where the characters live, the fictional Nine Mile Falls is based on the town where I live – paragliders really do get stuck in the trees, and everything that happens along Cummings Road really does happen!”
