"There are seven billion people on earth. Every single person is alive because someone before them somehow managed to live through the horrible reality through each generation." Moms Don't Have Time to Read Books guest host Julianna Goldman is joined by E.M. Tran to talk about her debut novel, Daughters of the New Year. The two discuss the influence E.M.'s family had on the story, why she wanted to center mother-daughter relationships, and what it was like to research the Vietnam Civil War. E.M. also shares why she decided to write this book backward in time and how Phoebe Bridgers played a huge role in her writing process.Purchase on Amazon or Bookshop.Amazon: https://amzn.to/3CSpOYuBookshop: https://bit.ly/3VB9q6eSubscribe to Zibby's weekly newsletter here.Purchase Moms Don't Have Time to Read Books merch here.
