Summary

"This whole book is about finding your center. The center does hold with a couple of good friends." Anne Lamott recently joined Zibby's Book Club to discuss her latest book, Dusk, Night, Dawn: On Revival and Courage, and answered questions from book club members. Anne talked about those she looks to for inspiration, her experience watching her son's journey to sobriety as a former alcoholic herself, and how she seeks forgiveness every day, especially during the pandemic.

0:07.0	I'm also the host of Moms Don't Have Time to Lose Weight, and I'm the editor of the anthology,
0:12.2	which you should run out and buy called Moms Don't Have Time to a quarantine anthology.
