Ma Speaks Up: And a First-Generation Daughter Talks Back, by Marianne Leone
This book spoke to me concerning my relationship with my mother, although my mother and I are very different from Ms. Leone and her mother, in culture and in temperament. I enjoyed reading this from cover to cover; I smiled, laughed, and cried. She did not hold back from telling the hard truths about her mother's background and experiences, and their relationship as it changed through the years.
An Early Reviewer book from the publisher, Beacon Press, through LibraryThing. Received on April 12, 2017
