Welcome!
My novel, White Mulberry, opens in Korea in the 1930s and follows a young woman named Miyoung, who leaves her impoverished village for Japan in search of a better future. But once there, she faces racial prejudice among many obstacles, as she tries to forge a new identity in an unwelcome new country. This story, and the sequel, Red Seal, are inspired by my grandmother’s life. My mission is to amplify voices that have been overlooked and spur others to explore and share their own family stories.
