A Night with Author Jessamine Chan

Join a conversation with author Jessamine Chan. Chan's recent debut novel, The School for Good Mothers, is a NYT Bestseller and a Today Show Read with Jenna selection. The book explores the question of what being a 'good mother' is, and who even makes that determination? What if the government and social service agencies get involved? How harsh of an outcome is justified for a small mistake?

The discussion is hosted by Emily Maloney, author of an essay collection titled Cost of Living. This book explores the exorbitantly high cost of medical care from Maloney's personal experience with high debt and from her work with patients in an ER.
