Nancy Jooyoun Kim, WHAT WE KEPT TO OURSELVES

Zibby is joined by New York Times bestselling author Nancy Jooyoun Kim to discuss WHAT WE KEPT TO OURSELVES, an intricately crafted mystery and heart-wrenching family saga about a Korean American family in Los Angeles, their missing mother, and the dead stranger that appears in their backyard. Nancy discusses the themes of motherhood, immigration, grief, the challenge of communication between generations, and what it means to disappear, all of which tie to her novel and her real life. She also describes her path to storytelling and gives us a glimpse into the book she is working on now!Purchase on Bookshop: https://bit.ly/3tzojwtShare, rate, & review the podcast, and follow Zibby on Instagram @zibbyowens!** Want more?
