BUY THE BOOK! Hungered by Amanda Rizkalla: ⁠ https://amzn.to/4hIE21v The 125th Oprah’s Book Club selection is the stunning debut novel Hungered by author Amanda Rizkalla. Written from the perspective of 12-year-old Sofia, Hungered gives a unique look inside the world of a family who is unhoused. Amanda shares how her personal experience of losing their housing and living in a car with her family as a child inspired her to write this poignant and beautiful story. Oprah and Amanda have a thoughtful discussion about how - despite the daily struggle to survive - the fictional Sofia and her family are still able to experience joy, humor and compassion. We hear from several readers including a young woman who says that Amanda’s novel resonated with her because she also experienced being unhoused as a child. 00:00:00 - Welcome Amanda Rizkalla, author of “Hungered” 00:02:10 - Amanda shares why she wrote the book 00:05:00 - The plot of Hungered 00:06:40 - Understanding being unhoused 00:12:40 - Growing up mixed race 00:18:15 - Amanda on choosing the mother’s career 00:22:20 - Theme of not belonging 00:26:15 - Amanda’s writing process 00:28:40 - The ending of the book #oprahsbookclub Follow Oprah Winfrey on Social: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/oprahpodcast/ ⁠ ⁠https://www.facebook.com/oprahpodcast/⁠ ⁠ https://www.instagram.com/oprah/?hl=en⁠ ⁠ https://www.facebook.com/oprahwinfrey/
