Ann Leary, New York Times bestselling author of The Good House, joins Zibby to talk about her latest novel, The Foundling, which was inspired in part by her own family's story. Ann shares what she learned about eugenics in order to write the book, as well as how moving around a lot as a young girl has helped her as a writer. The two also discuss the story's metaphorical suitcase, the history of asylums and who resided in them, and who Ann fashioned each of her three protagonists after.Purchase on Amazon or Bookshop.Amazon: https://amzn.to/3cTrO8ABookshop: https://bit.ly/3OIkTfFSubscribe to Zibby's weekly newsletter here.Purchase Moms Don't Have Time to Read Books merch here.
