Scott Fitzgerald Short Story Contest.[7] Kim's second novel, The Kinship of Secrets, was published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt in November 2018.[8] BiographyThe daughter of Korean immigrant parents who came to America shortly after the Pacific War, Kim was born in White Plains, New York and raised in Takoma Park, Maryland. She attended Central Connecticut State University (then College), and the University of Maryland, from which she received a BA in Studio Art.
