Her title says it all, briefly. Zibby suffers loss of loved ones in her life with those super unexpected, here-one-minute-gone-the-next losses really hard to heal from. She has some beautiful children, but never mentions the father. I admire that it is her story to tell and none of our business what happened. Bottom line, she walked away with four cherished children. The love in the title is in family/friend examples and her current husband, and she does treat us to that story:). The literature comes in the narrative when she mentions books she read and when, and provides a complete list at the end. She also titles her chapters with some favorite, apropos book titles. She is living a very busy, privileged life, and she mentions her privilege. I am going to check out her podcast to hear from some authors.
