<p>Zibby welcomes back author Jacqueline Friedland to discuss COUNTING BACKWARDS, a bold, gripping, and timely dual-timeline novel about how women’s bodies have been used against them in American society, both past and present. The book follows a young attorney who takes on a pro bono immigration case, only to uncover a shocking pattern of medical abuse at a detention center. Jaqueline shares the real-life inspirations behind the story, including her background as a lawyer and her deep fascination with the history of eugenics. The conversation also dives into the novel’s exploration of marriage, infertility, trauma, and personal resilience.</p><br><p>Purchase on Bookshop: <a href="http://bit.ly/3G47YWs" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">bit.ly/3G47YWs</a></p><br><p>Share, rate, & review the podcast, and follow Zibby on Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/zibbyowens/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@zibbyowens</a>!</p> <p>Now there's more!
