The San Francisco Chronicle asked me to write an essay about losing my home in the 1991 Oakland Hills fire and what people in LA can expect.
"There are few things as shocking as watching your home burn down," it begins. #palisadesfire

Thanks for this list. My adoption memoir: Blood Strangers. katherinebriccetti.com/blood-strang...

💖 Amy Sherald's exhibit at SF MoMA is stunning! A great way to spend an atmospheric river rainy day.
