Temple Lentz – Not Quite Home: Fiction, Community, and
Solving Real-World Problems
Temple Lentz—nonprofit CEO, elected official, and
award-winning author—joins Northwest Book Talk to discuss her debut
novel Not Quite Home.
Inspired by real experiences in Southwest
Washington, the story follows two women from very different worlds who come
together to address homelessness through an innovative tiny home community.
Temple shares how the pandemic sparked her writing, why she chose fiction to
explore complex social issues, and what she hopes readers take away about
compassion, community, and change.
This conversation reveals how storytelling
can bridge divides and inspire action.
