We are with award-winning book author, TV writer/producer, and feature screenwriter Paula Yoo. Hailing from Los Angeles, CA, she loves to spend time hanging with her family and cats.
Her latest Young Adult narrative non-fiction book, FROM A WHISPER TO A RALLYING CRY: The Killing of Vincent Chin and the Trial that Galvanized the Asian American Movement, is from Norton Young Readers (W.W.
