Journey Across the Four Seas
Veronica Li

Veronica Li talks about her new book, "Journey Across the Four Seas," at the World Bank in Washington, DC. The book chronicles the experiences of Ms. Li's mother, Flora Li, who grew up in Hong Kong and was one of the few women to attend Hong Kong University before fleeing the Japanese occupation in 1941. Flora Li eventually moved to the United States to provide a better life for her family.

Veronica Li worked as a reporter for the Asian Wall Street Journal, Agence France-Presse and Congressional Quarterly before working for the World Bank in East Asia and East Africa. She is the author of "Nightfall in Mogadishu."
