Amy Butcher, MOTHERTRUCKER: Finding Joy on the Loneliest Road in America

Zibby is joined by professor and author Amy Butcher to talk about her book, Mothertrucker, and the story of how she found herself in an eighteen-wheeler in Alaska with a woman named Joy who she met on Instagram. Amy and Zibby discuss the domestic violence situation that inspired Amy to make a change in her life, how Joy and Amy forged a deep connection despite so many differences, and what Amy did to honor Joy's memory after her passing.
