On April 13th our new neighbor Mamahuhu will be hosting a book club for Kathryn's newest book, The Chinese Groove, moderated by Folio co-owners Alissa and Katerina. Book club attendees will receive a free copy of the book, but space is limited so contact chloe@eatmamahuhu.com to RSVP and reserve your spot today! Kathryn will be joining the group after the discussion for a Q&A and signing.

On April 16th the San Francisco Public Library will be hosting Kathryn for a FREE in-conversation event with Julia Flynn Siler, the author of The White Devil's Daughters: The Women Who Fought Slavery in San Francisco's Chinatown. A book signing will follow the program.
