In Elizabeth Tran's debut novel, "Daughters of the New Year," readers can find parallels between the author's family history and her fiction. Tran grew up on the West Bank, the youngest of three daughters raised by Vietnamese refugees.

The Historic New Orleans Collection interviewed Tran about her family's experience for their oral history series, NOLA Life Stories.
