Carolyn Huyhn celebrates messy women.

Writing a book with over 14 characters that have main-character energy is a real challenge, but Carolyn Huynh executed it perfectly in her debut novel, The Fortunes of Jaded Women. In this episode, we talk with Carolyn about her family dynamics that inspired parts of this book like motherly roasts, psychic visits, and Gen Z daughters keeping the peace through TikTok. 

The Fortunes of Jaded Women tells the story of a surprising prophecy that upends a family curse that has plagued generations of Viet women living in Orange County’s Little Saigon. Filled with a cast of over 14 women, these estranged family members must find their way back to one another, while also trying to find themselves along the way.
