A.H. Kim (Ann) was born in Seoul, South Korea and immigrated to the U.S. as a young child. Ann was educated at Harvard College and Berkeley Law School, where she was an editor of the California Law Review. Ann practiced corporate law for many years and served as chief of staff to the CEO and as head of investor relations at a Fortune 200 company.
Ann’s debut novel, A GOOD FAMILY, was inspired by her personal experience supporting her brother and nieces while her sister-in-law served time in Alderson Women’s Prison Camp. Maureen Corrigan of the Washington Post hailed it as a “lively suspense diversion,” and Publisher’s Weekly said, “this addictive, over-the-top dramedy would make for a great TV series.”
Ann’s second novel, RELATIVE STRANGERS, is a contemporary retelling of Sense and Sensibility set on the bucolic Northern California coastline and explores themes of love, loss, grief, and forgiveness. Bookpage called it “an innovative, fast-paced novel that retains the delightful and comforting feel of a classic,” and AudioFile Magazine said the audiobook was “moving and laugh-out-loud funny.”
Ann is the proud mother of two sons and a rescue dog, a longtime cancer survivor, and community volunteer. After raising her family in the Bay Area, Ann and her husband now call Ann Arbor home.
