Rex Ogle, PUNCHING BAG

Author Rex Ogle returns to discuss his second memoir, Punching Bag, which is a follow up to his debut memoir, Free Lunch. Rex and Zibby talk about the moments in Rex's childhood that ended up being so significant as he grew older, why his abusive past is important to talk about even though doing so is often painful, and the ways in which he is trying to reach kids who might be in similar situations today. Rex also shares the book he's working on next about his grandmother who remains such a powerful force in his life.
