"What an immense privilege it is to be able to put words on paper."~ Annabelle Kim

This episode is a special dedication to a dear writer-mother-friend, Annabelle Kim, who passed away in September of 2021 after a battle with stage 4 cancer.

Annabelle, a mother of four, was a mechanical engineer, an inventor, and a novelist. She was the author of Tiger Pelt, published by Leaf Land Press, a small independent publisher. The novel tracks two individuals' intertwined lives through the Japanese occupation of Korea, World War II and the Korean War, and it was based in part on her father's life.

Join Kaitlin as she shares a few pieces from Annabelle's writing that speak to what it means to be a woman and a writer and a caregiver who's navigating all of that and doing so with a refreshing and inspiring perspective.
