This book was hard to get into at first. It begins with the daughter character who isn't close to her mom and she resents her and her chinese culture. And at first when the mom starts telling her story it seems overly negative too, that she's just going to tell you what a bad life she had. But really it's about hope, how despite everything that happened to her she kept going and took every opportunity and found some very kind people who helped her reclaim her life. I was very emotional about all the misunderstandings being mixed at the end.

There are multiple occurrences of loss of toddlers through illness, child abuse, war, miscarriage, and famine. There are non-specific descriptions of rape and sexual assault and coercion.
