Librarian Natalie McCall chats with Misa Sugiura, author of award winning, contemporary young adult fiction. Her latest novel, This Time Will Be Different is a coming-of-age novel about a Japanese American teenager who struggles to understand the reverberating repercussions of her family being interned during World War II. 

Natalie and Misa bond over being nerdy English majors, reading problematic classics, the iconic literary heroine Harriet the Spy, and Tim O’ Brien’s brilliant evocation of the Vietnam War.
