Join us for a fascinating, in-depth interview with Amanda Churchill, author of "The Turtle House." Her book is the 2025 pick for the Fort Bend Community Reads. Book clubs across Fort Bend County read, discussed, and bonded over "The Turtle House" during Sept, Oct, and Nov. Amanda Churchill is a writer living in Texas. Her novel, The Turtle House, was inspired by the life of her beloved grandmother, a Japanese war bride.  She is also a Writers’ League of Texas 2021 Fellow. She attended the 2021 Community of Writers workshop in fiction as a James D. Houston Memorial Scholarship recipient.
