Totally Booked with Zibby

A Zibby Summer Reads pick! Rebecca J. Sanford, THE DISAPPEARED


Listen Later

Zibby speaks with award-winning author Rebecca Sanford about her heart-wrenching new drama, THE DISAPPEARED. Rebecca shares that the novel, a dual-timeline work of historical fiction, revolves around the 1970s Argentine military dictatorship and is inspired by the real-life "Grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo," who searched for their missing children and grandchildren. Rebecca shares how her graduate studies in international relations led her to this dark period in history and reflects on the emotional impact of her research and writing process, as well as the continued importance of raising awareness of historical atrocities. The conversation touches on motherhood, memory, activism, and the resilience of women across generations.
