Charles Bock, I WILL DO BETTER: A Father's Memoir of Heartbreak, Parenting, and Love

Zibby is joined by New York Times bestselling author Charles Bock to discuss I WILL DO BETTER, a tender and searingly honest memoir about parenting his infant daughter in the wake of his wife’s untimely death. Charles shares the heartbreaking story of losing his wife Diana to leukemia just days before their daughter Lily’s third birthday. He reflects on becoming a single father, navigating his grief while raising his toddler, and deciding to write this memoir, capturing both the humor and the pain of his journey. He also delves into his writing process, which was shaped by his experiences as a novelist.
