Kristen Martin presents The Sun Won’t Come Out Tomorrow: The Dark History of American Orphanhood
In conversation with Leslie Jamison

From a journalist who was orphaned at 14 years old, The Sun Won’t Come Out Tomorrow is critic Kristen Martin’s first book, revealing how the history of America’s orphans is the history of American childhood, the American family, and American poverty. Through a combination of in-depth archival research, memoir, and cultural analysis, The Sun Won’t Come out Tomorrow is a compellingly argued, compassionate book that forces us to reconsider autonomy, family, and community. Martin upends the mythologized orphan story and delivers the real history of being an orphan in America, with a searing indictment of the country’s consistent inability to care for those who need it most. Joining her is novelist and essayist Leslie Jamison (Splinters) for an in-depth discussion on the book, followed by an audience Q&A and signing.
