What We Carry: A Memoir by Maya Shanbhag Lang

5.0

---

This is a powerful beautiful honest memoir by a wonderful lady I wish I knew and she is Indian American with PhD married and she is a mother a sister a daughter. This is about mostly her relationship to herself to her daughter Zoe and her mother a retired psychiatrist. It is also has as its background a possibly invented mythical tale from India about a woman in a river who has to decide between saving herself or her daughter.
I dont want to tell anything I know having read this book except read it!
