Dinner & A Book - Our Missing Hearts

Celeste Ng is a bestselling American author whose 2022 novel, Our Missing Hearts, propels us into a dystopian future that rhymes in unsettling ways with our present moment. Ng shows us how we can be groomed to fear one another. But also how resistance can be as simple – and profound – as sharing our stories. April Lidinsky is joined by Dalila Huerta, the Executive Director at the Restorative Justice Collaborative Hub, to explore this novel about an authoritarian-ruled United States.
