Family Secrets

Every family has a secret but not every family has a memoirist to reveal it to the world.

Writer and former restaurant reviewer Candice Chung’s memoir Chinese Parents Don’t Say I Love You: A memoir of saying the unsayable with food is a tender account of reconnecting with her family and breaking down the barriers of cultural taboos. Exit Wounds: A Story of Love, Loss and Occasional Wars is award-winning writer Peter Godwin’s exploration of his changing relationship with his mother, his sister and his ex-wife and the winding histories that got them where they are now. Journalist Michael Visontay in Noble Fragments unravels a rare-book mystery linked by a legal document to his family’s history.

Join Candice, Peter and Michael in conversation with Georgina Godwin, as they reveal the tender underbellies of their family memoirs.
