This event is being presented virtually.
Known for his ability to weave fiction and history into compelling novels, Ford will discuss his latest book, The Many Daughters of Afong Moy, and what draws him to lost history. He’ll also examine the responsibility and challenges of presenting uncomfortable truths to a modern world and why he considers himself to be in the compassion creation business.
This program will include a live question and answer session at the end of the presentation moderated by B.J. Hollars.
This virtual presentation is made possible with technology assistance from L.E. Phillips Memorial Public Library.

JAMIE FORD’s debut novel, Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet, spent two years on the New York Times bestseller list and went on to win the 2010 Asian/Pacific American Award for Literature. Recently, that same novel has been optioned for a stage musical, and also for film, with George Takei serving as Executive Producer. His second book, Songs of Willow Frost, was a national bestseller. Jamie’s latest novel is The Many Daughters of Afong Moy.
His work has been translated into 35 languages. (He’s still holding out for Klingon, because that’s when you know you’ve made it).
