Between Chapters - Zibby Owens in conversation with Rabbi Diana Fersko

In this funny, candid, and deeply personal collection of essays, Owens looks back at a decade of reinvention: navigating motherhood, divorce, friendship, grief, love, ambition, and the unexpected turns that transformed her from a stay-at-home mother of four into one of the most recognizable voices in today’s literary world. In conversation with the JCC’s new Chief Jewish Life Officer, Rabbi Diana Fersko, Owens will explore the messy space between one chapter and the next: how we make sense of change while we’re still living through it, the role books and storytelling can play in helping us find our way, and what it means to take a chance on a different version of our lives. Set in the intimate atmosphere of the JCC Café, this evening is less a formal author talk than a conversation about books, beginnings, and the stories we tell ourselves when the plot takes an unexpected turn. Between Chapters will be available for purchase at the event.
