Holding what appeared to be a lifeless baby in her arms, Ma resisted the captain's orders to throw her bundle overboard. Instead, on landing, Ma rushed her baby into the arms of American military nurses and doctors, who saved the child's life. "I had hope, just a little, you were still alive," Ma would tell Putsata in an oft-repeated story that became family legend. Over the years, Putsata lives to please Ma and make her proud, hustling to repay her life debt by becoming the consummate good Cambodian daughter, working steadfastly by Ma's side in the berry fields each summer and eventually building a successful career as an award-winning journalist. But Putsata's adoration and efforts are no match for Ma's expectations. When Putsata comes out to Ma in her twenties, Ma tells her it's just a phase. When Putsata fails to bring home a Khmer boyfriend, it's because she's not trying hard enough. When, at the age of forty, Putsata tells Ma she is finally getting married--to a woman--it breaks their bond in two. In her startling memoir, Putsata Reang explores the long legacy of inherited trauma and the crushing weight of cultural and filial duty."-- Publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 306.7663 Reang Re Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 306.7663 Reang Re Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 306.7663 Reang Re Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapaa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 306.7663 Reang Re Checked In Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Biography B Reang Re Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library Adult Biography 306.7663 Reang Re Checked In Add Copy to MyList Salt Lake-Moanalua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 306.7663 Reang Re Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waikiki-Kapahulu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 306.7663 Re Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waipahu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 306.7663 Reang Re Checked In Add Copy to MyList
