ASIAN AMERICA: THE KEN FONG PODCAST

EP 509: Joanne Howard On Writing "Sleeping In The Sun" Debut Novel

24 Nov 2024

Description

California-based Asian American writer Joanne Howard discovered her grandfather's journals which he'd written while the family was serving as Baptist missionaries to India in the 1930s. Fascinated by his firsthand accounts of being an American family as India began to push back against being a colony of Great Britain, Howard was inspired to create a story of a family much like his, told from the perspectives of the youngest of four American boys and the family's Indian man-servant. You can find her on Instagram @joannesbooks and visit her webpage (www.joannehowardwrites.com).
