The Manicurist's Daughter ~
I love that she got her mother's story out along with the trauma of being first gen. I wasn't a nail salon bb but I was def a restaurant kid and I can relate to my mother's need to be a leader and stern. When she was handing out hot tea and worrying about dropping it I was sorting silverware hoping I didn't accidently cut myself or anyone else. I did dishes and hated soggy beans like she hated cherry colored nail polish.
Her story can help other children who have to work to support their family. I never wished that my mother was dead and I can't imagine the pain of losing someone after you said you hate them. I am glad that she was able to play volleyball and persevere even as the sort of black sheep in the family. It was hard to see the family lose their glue that held everything together. The fancy din dins and her love of food such a struggle no matter and ultimately comparing herself to her mother who died from body image stuffs herself. This one is a tear jerker so grab the tissues baddie <3<3<3
