A Vietnamese-American daughter retraces her mom's life as a Veit refugee and her untimely death after a medical malpractice. How does one heal from her complicated relationship with mom when mom has passed away? As a performer, Lieu excels at bringing vulnerabilities onto the page. Her heartfelt writing details how her one-woman show brings a broken family back together by unearthing unknown stories and recording forgotten histories. I smiled, raged, and sobbed while listening to Lieu's beautifully narrated audiobook, full of love and healing.
