Hi, I'm Zivie Owens, the creator and host of the award-winning podcast that you're listening to right now.

Thank you so much called Moms Don't Have Time to Read Books.

It is a daily podcast 365 days a year, and each day we talk to an author about all of the things related to their career, their book, their life, and more in 30 minutes or

less, because who has time? I am now an author myself, although I wasn't when I started this

podcast, and you can get my new memoir, Bookends, a memoir of Love, Loss, and Literature,

wherever books are sold starting July 1st, and my children's book, Princess Charming. You can

learn more about me at Zibby Owens.com,

but really you're here to learn more about the authors,

and that is what we're going to do.

Also, be sure to check out all the other podcasts

in the ZCast Podcast Network.

You can learn more at ZCastnetwork.com

and definitely check out those shows as well.

Thank you. at Zcastnetwork.com and definitely check out those shows as well. David Ambrose is the author of A Place Called Home, a Memoir, which if you follow me on

Instagram, you will see that I selected as my book of the year, which I wasn't even going to

do, but I loved it so much that I was trying to make a

statement and say, literally, this is the best book I read this year. It's the most inspiring,

amazing story, and you really all have to read it. It is so good. I could not put it down.

David's life has been just a huge story of resilience, overcoming, and making a difference,

and the power of being a kind person. And oh my gosh, it's changed my life. So anyway,

more about him. David is a national poverty and child welfare expert and advocate. He was

recognized by President Obama as an American champion of change.
