Author Sara Levine‘s new book, “The Hitch,” centers around Rose, an artisanal yogurt entrepreneur whose weeklong visit from her 6-year-old nephew is upended after her dog kills a corgi in the park. Her nephew insists that the corgi’s soul is now in him and behaves accordingly.

The book is out this week. Host Indira Lakshmanan speaks with Levine.
