Author Susanna Moore joins Zibby to discuss The Lost Wife, a stirring and immersive historical novel about a white woman who sympathizes with her Native American captors after they abduct her and her two children during the Sioux Uprising of 1862, and is thus vilified and rejected by the white settlers. Susanna talks about her fascinating research on the Sioux and the lives of women during that period. Then, she shares her life story, from Hawaii to New York and from working at Bergdorf's to teaching at Princeton without a college degree.Purchase on Zibby's Bookshop: https://bit.ly/3ACPJlaPurchase on Bookshop: https://bit.ly/3HlTSNXSubscribe 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.
