“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 Zibby Owens is known for sharing relatable moments with a warmth and openness that make readers feel seen. In Between Chapters, 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.

These essays meet us in the messy middle of becoming, where nothing is certain but everything is alive. If you’ve ever found yourself starting over, questioning everything, or scribbling your way through the chaos just to make sense of it, you will feel profoundly seen here. This book is a companion, a permission slip, and a reminder: it is never too late to rewrite your story." —Jen Hatmaker, author of Awake
“It’s wonderful! Intimate, frank, and familiar, Between Chapters is pure delight. It is as warm and engaging as morning coffee with a best friend. Zibby parses the joys and pains of midlife awakening and reinvention in these bite-sized essays, each one landing with authenticity and humor and honesty." —Susan Orlean, author of Joyride
“A reminder to us all that the messy middle of life is no joke! Disarmingly honest, funny, and a raw exploration of the choices we make and why we make them.” —Amy Griffin, author of The Tell
