"This was a story that really wanted to be told, that wouldn't let me go."
On this episode, we talk to first-time author Jane Kuo about her first book, In the Beautiful Country, about a young girl from Taiwan immigrating to Southern California in the 1980s and building a new and very different life. The book is loosely based on Jane's own immigration journey. Jane talks to us about the transition from working as a nurse to becoming a writer, and the different muscles she had to use to write, edit, publish, and publicize the book. We loved this beautiful book - it was deeply moving and lovely account of the life of a working class Asian immigrant family, and highly recommend everyone check it out.
