What a moving book, in which we explore mothers and daughters and their experiences in China and as Chinese-Americans. Don't expect the stories to be fully linked (there are bits and pieces that are), but rather a collection of eight different women's stories. Despite being written in 1989, it still feels like a relevant story of these everyday lives.
