Rhode Island Voices: Ann Hood

Ann Hood’s first novel, Somewhere Off the Coast of Maine, was published in 1987. She has since written over a dozen books and numerous short stories and essays. She will read from two novels, The Knitting Circle and The Red Thread (soon to be made into a movie for HBO). The Red Thread is an adoption agency that specializes in placing baby girls from China with American families. The stories of six couples who have decided to adopt are woven together with the stories of the Chinese birth mothers who give up their daughters. Please register for this program.
