Justina Chen (born 1968) is a Taiwanese-American[1] fiction writer. From 2007 to 2008, Justina toured across the US with Olympic Gold medalist Hannah Teter to promote her upcoming book, Girl Overboard, and the "Go Overboard" challenge grants co-sponsored by Youth Venture and Burton Snowboards. Her novel Nothing But the Truth (and a few white lies) won one of the 2007 Asian/Pacific American Awards for Literature. North of Beautiful, her next book, got a Kirkus Book of the Year and a Barnes & Noble Book of the Year award and is widely considered her most famous work. Her latest book, Return to Me, is said to be based loosely on events that happened to her and her family, and has had a positive response from critics.
