A continuation of the best-selling memoir, A Girl Named Zippy, follows the story of her mother, Delonda, who reinvents her life by learning to drive, returning to college, and losing fifty pounds, achievements that coincide with Zippy's ongoing quest to work out the dynamic of their nuclear family. Read by Haven Kimmel. Simultaneous.
This is a terrific story of a little girl growing up in the midwest. But, more importantly, it is a story about how a woman trapped in an oppressive marriage gathers herself up and transforms her life. Although subtle, it should serve as an inspiration to us all. I hope there is a third installment, as this leaves you wondering about what happens next.
