Accidental friends with Susan Josephs
Episode 3
Friday, 13 March, 2026
What happens when two strangers are brought together by the same heartbreaking loss? Can friendship help heal the soul? After Rose's husband, Maury, and Nina's fiancé, Jeff, are killed in a tragic car accident, the two women form an unexpected bond. What begins in shared grief grows into something deeper—through memories, regrets, and the search for a way forward. Despite their decades of age difference—Rose at 93 and Nina in her thirties—they connect through their shared love of dance, Nina's passion for yoga, and the complicated emotions that follow loss. Author Susan Josephs brings a gentle, thoughtful touch to the story, exploring guilt, remembrance, and the quiet power of friendship during life's most difficult transitions. Join me for a heartfelt conversation with Susan Josephs about her novel Accidental Friends on the Nice Jewish Books Podcast. Follow along with the transcript.
