Gayle Weber asked Cathy Lamb:

So What questions can you suggestion for a discussion group on Henry's Sisters? Growing up with two sisters and a brother, any chance Henry's Sisters is partly biographical? Can you name three all time favorite novels? As a retired teacher, I wondered about Henry's disability? What are you writing now ? Does anyone ' read along , edit?" As you write? You write late at night, so how do you fill your days?I

Cathy Lamb Gayle, I am so sorry! I just saw this questions.

So, first, the discussion questions for Henry's Sisters are in the back of the book. If you have a book club, and I'm not too late, I'm happy to skype with you all.

I do have two sisters and a brother, but no, Henry's Sisters is not about my family.

I have too many favorite novels ... hmmm, narrowing it down. The Color Purple. Anything by James McBride and Kaye Gibbons and Geraldine Brooks and Kurt Vonnegut. Loved Life After Life, Infidel, Escape, A Man Called Ove...

I used to be a teacher, too, loved it. Henry has Down's Syndrome. I'm writing my eleventh novel now. Sixth edit, I do twelve edits total. I do write best at night, but I also write during the day, too, and I do marketing, etc.

I have three kids, two in college, one out, but I spend a lot of time with them because I adore them.

And I hang out with Innocent Husband!
