	Description:		Barbara Demick has spent her career telling the stories of people living under some of the world’s most repressive and dangerous regimes. From North Korea to Tibet and Bosnia, her reporting and books have helped readers understand what life looks like far beyond the headlines. Her latest book, Daughters of the Bamboo Grove, chronicles the true story of Chinese twin girls, born in rural Hunan, separated by China’s one-child policy. Demick joins The Front Page to explain how the book acts as more than one family’s tragedy. It’s also an account of how state policy reshaped private life, family structure and identity in China.
