Bich Min Nguyen joins us with her latest novel, Pioneer Girl, which contains a literary mystery involving Laura Ingalls Wilder and her daughter Rose, but at its heart is a story of identity and belonging for a young Vietnamese woman trying to break free from her immigrant roots.

Like Bich Minh Nguyen, Lanette Hunter’s admiration for Laura Ingalls Wilder began in childhood and that has grown into her developing the role and portraying Laura Ingalls Wilder whenever and where ever she can. Hunter talks about the Wilders and Nguyen’s book.
