An incredible, deeply reported story of identical twins Isabella and Hà, born in Viêt Nam and raised on opposite sides of the world, each knowing little about the other’s existence until they were reunited as teenagers, against all odds.
In 1998 in Nha Trang, Viêt Nam, and Liên struggled to care for her newborn twin girls. Hà was taken in by Liên’s sister, and she grew up in a rural village with her aunt, going to school and playing outside with the neighbors. They had sporadic electricity and frequent monsoons. Hà’s twin sister, Loan, was adopted by a wealthy, white American family who renamed her Isabella. Isabella grew up in the suburbs of Chicago with a nonbiological sister, Olivia, also adopted from Viêt Nam. Isabella and Olivia attended a predominantly white Catholic school, played soccer, and prepared for college. But when Isabella’s adoptive mother learned of her biological twin back in Viêt Nam, all of their lives changed forever.
Award-winning journalist Erika Hayasaki spent years and hundreds of hours interviewing each of the birth and adoptive family members. She brings the girls’ experiences to life on the page, told from their own perspectives, challenging conceptions about adoption and what it means to give a child a good life. Hayasaki contextualizes the sisters’ experiences with the fascinating and often sinister history of twin studies, intercountry and transracial adoption, and the nature-versus-nurture debate, as well as the latest scholarship and conversation surrounding adoption today, especially among adoptees.
Join us as Professor Hayasaki discusses this richly textured, moving story of sisterhood and coming-of-age. Somewhere Sisters: A Story of Adoption, Identity, and the Meaning of Family.

“Beyond the Book” Author Series
In his latest book, The Skill of Humor Playbook , (An)Drew Tarvin shows us a way to access what we already know to be true. We know that humor helps, humor heals, and humor works. Humor is a skill, which means it can be learned. So, the question isn't, "are you funny?" The question is: "what kind of funny do you want to be?"
You may have heard that laughter is the best medicine, but did you know it could also be a secret sauce for success in business?
The power of humor is often underestimated in the world of suits and ties.
As someone who's trained the biggest companies in the world, (An)Drew can tell you it's not just about cracking jokes during coffee breaks.
Humor is a tool, a perspective, a way of seeing things.
We invite you to join us as (An)Drew discuses The Skill of Humor Playbook. He’ll share about unlocking the 7 Humor Personas ! There's a reason it's called a playbook-it contains strategies and techniques as opposed to just knowledge (book book) or just exercises (workbook). Plus, it's all about bringing a bit more play to your life.
