Donna Freitas, HER ONE REGRET

Recorded live at Zibby’s Bookshop x Minnie Rose, award-winning author Donna Freitas joins Zibby to discuss HER ONE REGRET, a riveting feminist thriller about a missing mother, the baby she left behind, and a community consumed by questions of whether she was taken… or chose to leave. Donna reflects on themes of motherhood, regret, judgment, and identity. Drawing on her own life, academic research, and years of observing women’s lived experiences, she talks candidly about societal expectations placed on mothers, the loneliness and emotional complexity of early parenthood, and the courage it takes to tell difficult stories.Purchase on Bookshop: https://bit.ly/4ptYCo5Share, rate, & review the podcast, and follow Zibby on Instagram @zibbyowens!** Want more?
