\nBook Description:
\nWith humor and heart\, Michelle Zauner tells of growing up one of the few Asian American kids at her school in Eugene\, Oregon\; of struggling with her mother's h igh expectations of her\; of a painful adolescence\; of treasured months s pent in her grandmother's tiny apartment in Seoul\, where she and her moth er would bond\, late at night\, over heaping plates of food.
\nAs sh e grew up\, moving to the East Coast for college\, finding work in the res taurant industry\, and performing gigs with her fledgling band&mdash\;and meeting the man who would become her husband&mdash\;her Koreanness began t o feel ever more distant\, even as she found the life she wanted to live. It was her mother's diagnosis of terminal cancer\, when Michelle was twent y-five\, that forced a reckoning with her identity and brought her to recl aim the gifts of taste\, language\, and history her mother had given her.< /p>\n
