As 80's babies, were feeling nostalgic. Jennifer Chow takes us back to the 80's with her book, and talks more with Twinja Book Reviews!

We had a great opportunity to meet this author through a blog hop a few months back. Who would've guessed she wrote multicultural fiction? It's definitely not rare to see this is authors of color, but there is so much pressure to write "default" , that with a blog like ours, we cant help but notice when authors choose to write the stories they want to tell. Jennifer Chow is the author of "The 228 Legacy" , a tale depicting three generations of women of Taiwanese descent. Watch as her interview unfolds how this story came to be...

1. We've had the pleasure of meeting you through a blog hop! But for those of us who may not be familiar with you, what would you like audiences to know about you?

I’m an Asian-American writer, influenced by the Taiwanese and Chinese cultures. I also have a background in geriatric social work, so a lot of my stories feature older protagonists.


2. The 228 Legacy chronicles the lives of three generations of women in the same family. Why were each woman's stories important for you to tell?
