White Mulberry is a new historical novel written by 1994 Boston College Law School graduate Rosa Kwon Easton. Inspired by the life of Easton’s grandmother, White Mulberry is a moving portrait of Miyoung, a young girl who leaves an impoverished village in Korea in the 1930s to seek a better future in Japan. As she tries to forge a new identity in a new country, she faces racial prejudice and other obstacles. As war looms, Miyoung feels the constraints of her adopted home tighten and is faced with a choice that will change her life—and the lives of those she loves—forever. A native of  Seoul, Korea, Easton is an attorney and elected trustee of the Palos Verdes Library District in California. White Mulberry is Easton’s debut novel. Learn more in this Q&A with the author.
