Overview
Diane Papalia's world was turned upside down when she met Bob Zappa, "the man with the chocolate brown eyes," in 1986. They were immediately drawn to each other. Over the course of 27 years, their stars would cross again and again, but it was complicated for them to be together. It wasn't until 2013 that Diane and Bob were free to commit to being together. This is Diane's story about their journey across those years, and how their love endured. The Married Widow is a poignant look at a beautiful love story between two people who waited years to finally be together. Diane Papalia Zappa earned her PhD in lifespan developmental psychology in 1971. She went on to teach human development courses to thousands of students at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, attaining the rank of tenured full professor of child and family studies at the age of 30. While in Madison, she and co-author Sally Wendkos Olds wrote A Child's World (now in its thirteenth edition) and Human Development (in its fourteenth edition). In 1986, while still a professor in Madison, she met Frank Zappa's younger brother, Bob, who was the marketing manager for one of her books. They married in 2015.
