Zibby interviews bestselling Israeli author, photojournalist, columnist, and activist Lihi Lapid about her latest novel, ON HER OWN (a tense and immersive psychological read about two families in crisis), and her earlier book, WOMAN OF VALOR, which will soon be published for the first time in the U.S. by our company, Zibby Publishing, with a new title, I WANTED TO BE WONDERFUL! This powerful memoir about motherhood, identity, sacrifice, and raising a daughter with severe autism left a lingering effect on Zibby, leading her to acquire it for her publishing house. Lihi talks about her journey from news photographer to writer, her experience as a mother in the public eye (she is married to the former Prime Minister of Israel), and the courage it took to publish such a vulnerable and honest book. The idea to acquire it came up in this episode and now it's coming out October 21st!!!
