Community RoomAuthor Zibby Owens is joined by Amy Jo Burns to discuss her recently released memoir "Between Chapters." Doors open at 10:45 a.m. for coffee & pastries. The conversation begins at 11 a.m.
About the Book (from the publisher):
Bestselling author Zibby Owens is known for sharing relatable moments with a warmth and openness that make readers feel seen. In "Between Chapters: How I Started Over, Took Some Chances, and Found the Plot," she offers a front-row seat to her decade of reinvention as she goes from being an Upper East Side stay-at-home mom of four to a divorced and remarried “book-fluencer,” author, publisher, award-winning podcaster, and bookstore owner.
Laugh alongside Zibby as she shares moments like messing up “the birds and the bees” talk, getting stuck climbing an inflatable raft at her kids’ sleepaway camp, and traveling with her new love. Join her in the forty-something trenches as she gains and loses weight, gains and loses friends, makes a zillion mistakes, and finds ways to turn grief, divorce pain, communal tragedy, and the anticipation of an empty nest into moments of connection.
About the Author:

She is the editor of two anthologies: "Moms Don’t Have Time To: A Quarantine Anthology" and "Moms Don’t Have Time To Have Kids: A Timeless Anthology." In 2024 she was the publisher and editor of the volume "On Being Jewish Now: Reflections from Authors and Advocates," which spent 29 weeks on the USA Today bestseller list.
