Oprah Winfrey announced "Olive, Again" by Elizabeth Strout as her new book club selection on "CBS This Morning" on Thursday. The sequel to Strout's Pulitzer Prize-winning book "Olive Kitteridge" brings back Olive, a stubborn and blunt woman as she navigates her second marriage and complicated relationship with her son.
