Sadeqa Johnson on Keeper of Lost Children

Описание: Sistah Girls, in this episode, Sharee sits down with a heavy hitter in the literary game, New York Times bestselling author Sadeqa Johnson joins the podcast to talk about her latest novel, Keeper of Lost Children.

The story follows three main characters: Ethel Gathers, the proud wife of an American Officer, is living in Occupied Germany in the 1950s. Ozzie Phillips, a Philadelphia native who volunteers for the military during the time of its segregation, and Sophia Clark, a young high school girl who has a hard life but gets accepted prestigious all-white boarding school that’s just been desegregated.

On the surface, these people don’t have a connection, but when Ethel discovers a local orphanage filled with the abandoned mixed-race children of German women and Black American GIs, that’s when all their worlds collide.
