Anissa talks about her decision to write from different perspectives and time periods, the real-life disappearance that inspired this story, and the difficult events that happened in her own life while she wrote it. Zibby loved this book so much that she chose it for Zibby's Book Club in June!!</p><p><br></p><p>Purchase on Zibby's Bookshop: <a href=\"http://bit.ly/3zPBetT\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">http://bit.ly/3zPBetT</a></p><p>Purchase on Bookshop: <a href=\"https://bit.ly/43pfsdR\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://bit.ly/43pfsdR</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"}
