Lawrence Pollard talks to chart-topping Chinese-American writer Celeste Ng and an audience about her bestselling novel Everything I Never Told You.

In 1970s small-town Ohio Lydia is the favorite child of parents, determined that she will fulfill the dreams they were unable to pursue. But when Lydia鈥檚 body is found in the local lake, the delicate balancing act that has been keeping the Chinese-American Lee family together is destroyed.

A profoundly moving story of family, secrets, racism and longing, Everything I Never Told You uncovers the ways in which mothers and daughters, fathers and sons, and husbands and wives struggle, all their lives, to understand one another.
