In this illuminating episode of the Authors on Mission podcast, host Danielle Hutchinson sits down with author Nancy Napier to explore her book Vietnam’s Bridge Generation—a powerful account of North Vietnamese leaders who came of age during wartime and helped shape the country’s economic renaissance.

Nancy shares her transition from academic writing to accessible nonfiction, her collaboration with co-author Dao Tiha, and the emotional depth of collecting personal stories. The book has sparked intergenerational dialogue and offers a rare lens into Vietnam’s cultural evolution—from “We” to “Me.”

💡 What you’ll learn:

• How storytelling builds bridges across generations
• The “Four F’s” philosophy: never forget, forgive, make friends, look to the future
• Tips for writing with vulnerability and cultural sensitivity
• Why giving yourself grace is essential in the writing process

Nancy also previews her journey into fiction writing and invites listeners to explore her blog and upcoming projects at nancyknapier.com.
