Kristina McMorris, author of the New York Times million-copy bestseller “Sold on a Monday” and “The Ways We Hide,” will discuss her latest novel, a heartrending page-turner, “The Girls of Good Fortune” at 6:30 pm on Thursday, May 22 in the City Hall Council Chamber located at 200 Civic Center.

This unforgettable historical novel plunges the reader into the fascinating depths of Portland, Oregon’s Chinatown — from its opium parlors and gambling dens to its underground maze of Shanghai Tunnels. Through meticulous research spotlighting the post-Gold Rush Chinese immigrant experience and related shocking atrocities, “The Girls of Good Fortune” deftly explores the complexity of family and identity, the importance of stories that echo through generations, and the power of strength found beneath the surface.

Books will be available for purchase onsite at this free event from our partner bookseller Adventures by the Book.
