Ly Tran - HOUSE OF STICKS

Ly and I discuss her new book House of Sticks, the extent to which her father’s PTSD shaped her childhood, immigrating to the United States through a humanitarian program when she was three, writing about her family, the multi-layered meaning of the book’s title, wanting to provide hope for others who may experience similar situations, and much more.
Ly’s recommended reads are:

Things We Lost to the Water by Eric Nguyen

Red Rock Baby Candy by Shira Spector
