Description
New York Times journalist and author of the memoir A Cup of Water Under My Bed, Daisy Hernández, joins Zibby to talk about her latest book, The Kissing Bug, which was inspired by her own family's story. After watching her aunt endure a painful yet unnamed disease for decades, Daisy spent seven years researching and uncovering the facts of the invisible Chagas disease. She shares how weaving together investigative reporting with her own memories was not only important for her personal grieving process but essential to so many readers who have been touched by this under-discussed illness.Purchase on Amazon or Bookshop.Amazon: https://amzn.to/3jGvZoyBookshop: https://bit.ly/3mj60VR Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.
