Carmen: Everything Was A Lie
Listen now
Description
Carmen Rita Wong always had a big family, but she never thought it was the kind to have big secrets. Yet by adulthood, multiple bombshells would drop and transform her entire understanding of her parents, her origins, and her identity. Carmen takes Stephanie on this wild ride of genealogy, earth-shattering discoveries, and what it ultimately means to her now, as a parent, to know just how much her own endured. Apple Books has teamed up with Lemonada Media for an audiobook club. The October pick is Thicker Than Water by Kerry Washington.
