This week, host Jenee Darden speaks with author and Oakland resident Mary Monroe. The Joy Luck Club Renowned Bay Area author Amy Tan first made a splash with this powerful novel about four Chinese mothers and their daughters set in San Francisco. The classic book, which was made into a film of the same name, offers an intimate portrait of mother-daughter relationships, immigrants' experiences and the San Francisco of years past.
