A deeply personal memoir about one woman's journey to finding her
voice and rewriting her story by the creator and host of the
award-winning podcast Moms Don't Have Time to Read Books(TM).
Zibby Owens has become a well-known personality in the publishing world.
Her infectious energy, tasteful authenticity, and smart, steadfast
support of authors started in childhood, a precedent set by the profound
effect books and libraries had on her own family.
But after losing her closest friend on 9/11 and later becoming utterly
stressed out and overwhelmed by motherhood, Zibby was forgetting what
made her her. She turned to books and writing for help.
Just when things seemed particularly bleak, Zibby unexpectedly fell in
love with a tennis pro turned movie producer who showed her the path to
happiness: away from type-A perfectionism and toward letting things
unfold organically. What unfolded was a meaningful career, a great love,
and finally, her voice, now heard by millions of listeners.
An honest and moving story about relationships, love, food issues, the
writing life, and finding one's true calling, Bookends will inspire
and uplift.
