| Summary |
"Anna Chiu has her hands full. When she's not looking after her younger brother and sister or helping out at her father's restaurant, she's taking care of her mother, whose debilitating mental illness keeps her in bed most days. Her father's new delivery boy, Rory, is a welcome distraction, and even though she knows that things aren't right at home, she's starting to feel like she could be a normal teen. But when her mother finally gets out of bed, things go from bad to worse. And as her mother's condition continues to decline, Anna and her family question everything they understand about themselves and one another. The Surprising Power of a Good Dumpling is a heart-wrenching, true-to-life exploration through the complex and often-neglected crevices of culture, mental illness, and family"-- Dust jacket. |
