This was a really interesting book. It had me feeling so many different emotions. The author did such a great job sharing her family history and emotional journey. The author narrates the book too. I thought she did a great job and would recommend listening to the audiobook.
I can’t imagine loosing your mother at eleven years old and having to try to navigate that journey. The author set out to learn more about her mother and her culture in this book. I was very interested to learn more about Vietnamese culture. The book is full of discussions about different foods and traditions. I enjoyed that she sprinkled different Vietnamese words throughout the book.
I recommend this book to readers who enjoy learning about the struggle of obtaining the American dream and different cultures. It’s a really fascinating look at the Vietnamese culture.
