Jemimah James Wei / 魏信子

Im shaking so hard i can barely type. This novel saw me through nearly a decade of my life; she is my whole heart. It is the honor of my life to share that THE ORIGINAL DAUGHTER is forthcoming from @BoudreauxLee & @doubledaybooks, I cannot believe it.

Spanning over two decades, #TheOriginalDaughter by ⁦@jemmawei⁩ is a powerful and emotive examination of intergenerational trauma. It’s character driven, compelling and full of depth. ⁦@wnbooks⁩ ⁦⁦@RandomTTours⁩ share.google/yVosg4VD0Ro2KM…
