Wow! Yia Vang took me on an intimate journey through the challenges and revelations with her mother/daughter relationship journey. I cried throughout, I giggled to myself and I felt so close to the people in her story. It brought my own feelings with my mom to the surface and I felt healing and wisdom wash through me as I traveled with Yia and her mom throughout the old world to the United States. I learned American history I never knew before and I learned about the different ways we love. It is not a straight, chronological read - it is a spiral of strength and spirit -back and forth- and it flows beautifully. A culture (Hmong people) that I was not even aware of before reading this book, now holds a precious place in my knowing. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
