![]() If you’re too careful, too precise, your phantom editor will never stop looking over your shoulder. Q: What advice do you give to anyone who wants to be a historical fiction writer like you?Ī: Ernest Hemingway said “Write drunk, edit sober.” What I believe he meant – and have discovered myself – is that the first draft is all about inspiration. I was proud of my little shelf of self-published books. Even at 5 years old I thought of myself as an author. Sometimes I wrote stories in a series (like my favorite picture books about a hedgehog named Frances who had complex feelings and an annoying younger sister, not unlike my own). I don’t remember whether she instructed me to write stories that would fill the entire book or whether it was my own obsessive-compulsive decision, but I planned them carefully so that each story would end on the final page (with “THE END” in block letters for emphasis). ![]() ![]() Q: So, Christina, at what point in your life did you realize you wanted to be a writer?Ī: When I was able to spell phonetically around age 5, my mother started making blank books for me to write in: sheets of typing paper between cardboard covers, hole-punched down one side and held together with string. ![]() Christina is the author of “Orphan Train,” “Orphan Train Girl,” “A Piece of the World,” and “The Exiles.” ![]() This afternoon I have the pleasure of doing a Q&A with #1 New York Times bestselling author Christina Baker Kline. ![]() ![]() ![]() She makes clear that unlike White youth, who are afforded the freedom to test boundaries, experiment with sex and drugs, and figure out who they are and who they want to be, Black youth are seen as a threat to White America and are denied healthy adolescent development. ![]() Henning explains how discriminatory and aggressive policing has socialized a generation of Black teenagers to fear, resent, and resist the police, and she details the long-term consequences of racism that they experience at the hands of the police and their vigilante surrogates. ![]() A brilliant analysis of the foundations of racist policing in America: the day-to-day brutalities, largely hidden from public view, endured by Black youth growing up under constant police surveillance and the persistent threat of physical and psychological abuse "Storytelling that can make people understand the racial inequities of the legal system, and.restore the humanity this system has cruelly stripped from its victims." - New York Times Book Review Drawing upon twenty-five years of experience representing Black youth in Washington, D.C.'s juvenile courts, Kristin Henning confronts America's irrational, manufactured fears of these young people and makes a powerfully compelling case that the crisis in racist American policing begins with its relationship to Black children. ![]() ![]() Meanwhile, Max quickly learns that changing the past can sometimes lead to a devastating future.
