This week in the Cold, we're celebrating American Independence Day by talking about family lore and the impact it has on our lives as citizens and creators. My own family's harrowing American story has informed my outlook on love, parenting, speech, and civic responsibility. The incredible tales I grew up hearing around our family dinner table - including our "coming to America" accounts - made my becoming a writer inevitable, even when other careers might have been less competitive and more lucrative. So, light a sparkler and join us!
