Elizabeth discusses the autobiographical elements that made their way into the story and then delves into the poignant portrayal of her mother. She also talks about her journey to becoming a successful author (befriending Ann Patchett helped!), the projects she is working on now, and the books on her TBR list (one of which is <em>Signal Fires</em> by Dani Shapiro, which was featured on MDHTTRB just a few episodes ago!).</p><p><br></p><p>Purchase on Amazon or Bookshop.</p><p>Amazon: <a href=\"http://bit.ly/3V9v28i\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">bit.ly/3V9v28i</a></p><p>Bookshop: <a href=\"http://bit.ly/3FZfNue\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">bit.ly/3FZfNue</a></p><p><br></p><p>Subscribe to Zibby's weekly newsletter <a href=\"https://zibbyowens.us17.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=8aaa1ce151a09216fdc1d6414&amp;id=4cf0ef4d3c\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">here</a>.</p><p>Purchase Moms Don't Have Time to Read Books merch <a href=\"https://www.bonfire.com/store/zibby-owens/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">here</a>.</p>","author_name":"Zibby Owens"}
