NPR's Book of the Day - Dina Nayeri wants you to question ‘Who Gets Believed’
Author Dina Nayeri was young when she found out that there's a stark difference between credibility and belief – and it's a disconnect at the center of her new book, Who Gets Believed?: When the Truth Isn't Enough. Nayeri's family came to the U.S. as refugees from Iran in 1979. As she tells NPR's Juana Summers, that asylum process showed her how subjective belief can be – and she explains why, for her, the meaning of believing continued to shift, through faith and vulnerability, even as she was writing the book.

NPR's Book of the Day - In ‘Dust Child,’ the impacts of the Vietnam War are felt decades later
Nguyễn Phan Quế Mai's new novel, Dust Child, takes a closer look at the often-fraught relationships between Vietnamese women and American soldiers during the war. In today's episode, the author tells NPR's Scott Simon how she was always fascinated by the stories of the forgotten children from those relationships – often left behind, abandoned, and raised with a deep resentment for their mixed roots. The novel follows both the perspective of that generation – trying to find a better future – and that of the servicemembers being forced, decades later, to confront their past decisions.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Sun Yat-sen
For over two thousand years, China lived under imperial rule. A series of dynasties and emperors were the defining feature of Chinese governance.
However, in the early 20th century, China threw off its imperial rulers and became, for the first time in its history, a republic.
Much of the reason why China became a republic was due to one man.
Learn more about Sun Yat-sen and the downfall of imperial China on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
