Zibby is joined by author Jeff Hoffmann to talk about his debut novel, Other People's Children, which is now out in paperback. The two discuss Jeff's essay about who can tell which kinds of stories which he wrote in response to people's surprise that he was not a woman, as well as how his own experiences with adoption inspired the core of the novel. Jeff shares why he made the decision to quit his job and get an MFA at 47, how his relationship with his daughter has found its way into a number of his projects, and what he is working on next.Purchase on Amazon or Bookshop.Amazon: https://amzn.to/39Cnut2Bookshop: https://bit.ly/3OlOgV3Subscribe to Zibby's weekly newsletter here.Purchase Moms Don't Have Time to Read Books merch here.** Follow @totallybookedwithzibby on Instagram for listening guides and more. **(Music by Morning Moon Music.
