In the Garden Behind the Moon: Author Talk with Alexandra A. Chan

• Recorded: January 17, 2025 at the Historic Kennedy Pharmacy • Description: Chan shares insights from her deeply moving memoir, In the Garden Behind the Moon, an extraordinary work that was honored as the Best Book of the Year in Multicultural Nonfiction at the American Book Fest Book Awards. In her memoir, Chan blends family history with personal discovery, taking readers on a journey from pre-revolution China to Jim Crow-era Savannah, the Pacific theater of WWII and the black sands of Iceland. Enriched with full-color Chinese brush paintings by the author and vintage photographs, In the Garden Behind the Moon serves as a powerful testament to the magic and wonder of daily life. • Through the lens of grief, resilience and renewal, Chan explores her path to healing by uncovering the stories and artifacts left behind by her father and ancestors. Chan, a distinguished archaeologist, artist and author, is a descendant of Robert and Annie Chan, former residents of the Davenport House and proprietors of the R.C. Chan, Tong & Co., a Chinese laundry that once occupied the Historic Kennedy Pharmacy at 323 E. Broughton Street.
