À propos de cet audio
Tembi Locke has always been obsessed with family—making them, keeping them, thriving within them. As a child of divorce, a mother through adoption, a widow by cancer and now remarried to form a blended family, she is deeply familiar with change and upheaval. But in the summer of 2023, she felt overwhelmed and uneasy by another major shift: her only child, Zoela, was about to move across the country for college. Tembi needed to be in a place with the power to connect her to the past and prepare her for the future. So, she rented a house by the sea and booked flights to Sicily.
Someday, Now chronicles a sun-drenched summer adventure, as Tembi searches for meaning in places as vast and awe-inspiring as the Tyrrhenian Sea and the mythological home of Persephone and Demeter to those as quiet and personal as her late mother-in-law’s kitchen table. The island is rife with nostalgia and memories for her and Zoela, who grew up visiting her late father’s family in the Sicilian countryside. And when Tembi’s new husband Robert joins them a few days into their trip, she leans into the complicated feelings brought on by this experiment in blending family and reclaiming possibility in middle age.
Combining her own emotional narration with recordings from her time exploring the beautiful island, Tembi invites the listener to journey alongside her in this one-of-a-kind audio experience. Someday, Now is a perfect next listen for fans of From Scratch (now a Netflix series starring Zoe Saldaña), but stands on its own as a captivating and transformative family story and a celebration of love’s ability to reshape us in every season of life.
Editorial Review
Tembi Locke’s next chapter
Whenever I'm asked to name the book that changed my life, my unequivocal answer is always
From Scratch. Yes, the Netflix adaptation was fantastic, but for me as a young widow, Tembi Locke's 2019 memoir about grief and healing after her husband's death was a transformative lifeline. So it goes without saying that I'm thrilled Locke is giving us a new chapter in her inspiring story. In
Someday, Now, she takes us back to Sicily for an emotional summer adventure before her daughter leaves for college. This audio original is truly immersive, as Locke peppers her warm narration with clips of ambient sounds and conversations she recorded herself on the trip. The result is a comforting and heartwarming listen, where it feels as if you're sitting at the kitchen table in her Italian country house rental, sharing her hard-won wisdom about motherhood, middle age and new beginnings—over a delicious plate of arancini.—Margaret H., Audible Editor
