PBS Books, in collaboration with MPT in Maryland, hosts Luis Alberto Urrea, bestselling author of works of nonfiction, poetry and fiction, including “The Hummingbird’s Daughter” and “The House of Broken Angels.” His latest work "Goodnight Irene", Urrea takes inspiration from his mother’s own Red Cross service to deliver an overlooked story of women’s heroism in World War II.
