With her signature blend of meticulous research and deeply human storytelling\, Lisa See brings to life the voices of women whose experiences echo across time and speak to the heart of who we are as a country. \nJoin Lisa at the Carlsbad City Library for an engaging conversation about the inspiration behind Daughters of the Sun and Moon\, the historical foundations of her work\, and the lasting impact of Chinese American communities on our shared history. \nHappy 250th Birthday USA\nThis program is part of our USA 250th Birthday Series\, commemorating the 250th anniversary of the United States by honoring the diverse peoples\, cultures\, and communities whose contributions have shaped our nation’s history.
