Jessica grew up in a small Massachusetts town and spent many of her summers in Milford, PA. Early on, Jessica knew she wanted to work with books and shortly after college she found herself living in New York City, landing a job in the historic Flatiron Building. Jessica's mother passed away when Jess was only 23, and while going through her mother's things, Jess found a trove of de-classified documents, articles and research pointing to her uncle Jack who went MIA somewhere in Laos during the Vietnam war. Jessica has just released a book detailing her journey to Laos to continue the search her grandfather started decades ago. Listen in as Adam and Jess talk about the environment in Laos, the challenges of living and working in a big city, and also carrot cake.
