I was pleased to be interviewed by journalist Deborah Kalb about my new memoir SETTLEMENT HOUSE GIRL. She has posted it on her blog Book Q&As with Deborah Kalb this week. Deborah Kalb interviews a lot of authors and I am happy to join the list. It is always good to have more publicity! Thank you Deborah!
Here are the questions she asked me. Check out her blog for the answers!1. What inspired you to write Settlement House Girl?2. How much of the book comes from your own memories, and how much from research?3. What do you think are some of the most comment perceptions and misconceptions about settlement houses?4. What impact do you think growing up in a settlement house had on your life?5. What are you working on now?6. Anything else?
North East Neighborhood House, the settlement house in Minneapolis where I grew up.
