I first connected with Jennifer Rosner as fellow debut authors in early 2020 (you might recall what happened next). Historical fiction authors trip upon, excavate and fictionalize stories from the past that in turn inspire each other. I loved Jennifer's brilliant debut The Yellow Bird Sings and was not surprised to discover two years later that we were both writing, albeit in very different ways, about child separation during WWII. I sat down (virtually) with Jennifer, now a dear friend, to discuss how we approach our craft, the randomness-and many random rewards-of research, and how to honor the people whose lives have lit the creative spark behind our stories.
