"In 2019, Locke's first memoir, From Scratch, became a Reese's Book Club pick and, soon after, a global hit miniseries on Netflix. We all fell in love right along with her as she recounted her life with Saro, the beautiful Sicilian man she met while studying abroad in Italy in college. But life is full of challenging transitions. As we discovered in the book and miniseries, while Tembi and Saro's love for each other seemed transmutable from day one, it would ultimately have to take another form following his death."
"When it came time for Zoela to leave for college, Tembi needed a new way to frame this chapter. So, she planned a "college moon" and booked a house by the sea in Sicily for Zo, herself, and her new husband, Robert. Someday, Now, told exclusively as an audio experience, taps into that aching, joyful, sun-drenched, and wildly relatable journey."
Tembi Locke gained recognition when her 2019 memoir From Scratch became a Reese's Book Club pick and a global hit miniseries. She met and married Saro, a Sicilian man she fell in love with while studying in Italy. After Saro's death from cancer in her early 40s, she became a widow and single mother to their adopted daughter, Zoela. In summer 2023, Zoela prepared to leave for college, prompting a reevaluation of parenting and identity. Locke planned a "college moon", booking a seaside house in Sicily with Zoela and her new husband, Robert. Someday, Now, told exclusively as an audio experience, explores the transition from daily mothering to new beginnings and rejects the notion of "empty" nesting.
