On this week's episode, we sit down with Jean Kwok, author of The Leftover Woman! We talk about her thoughts on motherhood, ambition, and her experience as a ballroom dancer. We also got an impromptu merengue lesson post-interview! Jasmine Yang arrives in New York City without money or family support, on a search for her daughter who was taken from her at birth due to China's One Child Policy. Rebecca Whitney seems to have it all: a prestigious family name, wealth, a successful career, and an adopted Chinese daughter she adores. But when Rebecca faces an industry scandal, her marriage, job, and perfect world begin to crumble. Get The Leftover Woman at bookofthemonth.com.
