"Mining the age-old tensions between mothers and daughters, Choi's strong debut is an uproariously funny memoir of growing up with her Korean American family in Los Angeles.... [T]hese are indelible, poignant, and often riotously funny scenes of a daughter's frustrations and indestructible love." -- Booklist
A humorous story about the relationship between a first generation Korean-American and her parents, an alternately funny and poignant narrative showing how it feels to have one foot firmly planted on each side of the Pacific Ocean.
Annie Choi's very Korean mother never stopped annoying her thoroughly Americanized daughter. Growing up near Los Angeles, Annie was continually exasperated by both her mother's typical Korean harangues--you must get all As and attend Harvard--and non-so-typical eccentricities: stuffing the house with tacky Pope paraphernalia.
But when Annie's mother is diagnosed with breast cancer, the uneasy relationship between mother and daughter changes. Choi's witty and accessible prose will appeal to any daughter of immigrants, and to anyone who's had a challenging relationship with their mother.
