Author Chelene Knight joins the podcast to discuss her debut novel Junie. The book is set in Hogan's Alley, the once thriving Black and immigrant community located in Vancouver's East End. Junie is a creative, observant child who moves to the alley with her mother Maddie who is an aspiring jazz singer and alcoholic. Chelene discusses Black Joy, Black stereotypes and how the quiet, introspective Junie is a stereotype busting character. Junie is part of the Red Fern Book Review's latest book subscription box with Book Warehouse.
