Between Chapters: How I Started Over, Took Some Chances, and Found the Plot
“Zibby Owens writes like a woman with her life cracked wide open—and the courage to look straight inside. Between Chapters is funny, tender, unflinching, and so deeply human." —Jen Hatmaker, author of Awake From the national bestselling author comes a heartfelt, humorous look at a book lover’s life in relaunch. Bestselling author and award-winning podcaster Zibby Owens’s life today is very different than it was ten years ago. She went from being an Upper East Side stay-at-home-mom of four to becoming a “book-fluencer” adored by authors and readers, a bookstore owner, publisher, TV personality, event host, and community builder. In her decade of reinvention, like so many women, she gained and lost weight, gained and lost friends. Her lifelong passion for writing and reading helped her through it, as did the many conversations she had with authors on her podcast. In Between Chapters, Zibby opens up about the chances she took and mistakes she made, sharing stories of friendship, parenting, divorce, loss, and love.
This book will be available for purchase at the event.
