Susan Lieu has long been searching for answers. About her familys past and about her own future. Refugees from the Vietnam War, Susans family escaped to California in the 1980s after five failed attempts. Upon arrival, Susan's mother was their savvy, charismatic North Star, setting up two successful nail salons and orchestrating every success--until Susan was eleven. That year, her mother died from a botched tummy tuck. After the funeral, no one was ever allowed to talk about her or what had happened. For the next twenty years, Susan navigated a series of cascading questions alone--why did the most perfect person in her life want to change her body? Why would no one tell her about her mothers life in Vietnam? And how did this surgeon, who preyed on Vietnamese immigrants, go on operating after her mother's death? Sifting through depositions, tracking down the surgeon's family, and enlisting the help of spirit channelers, Susan uncovers the painful truth of her mother, herself, and the impossible ideal of beauty. The Manicurist's Daughter is much more than a memoir about grief, trauma, and body image. It is a story of fierce determination, strength in shared culture, and finding your place in the world. 600 10 $a Lieu, Susan. 600 10 $a Lieu, Susan $x Family. 650 0 $a Vietnamese Americans $z California $v Biography. 650 0 $a Children of immigrants $v Biography. 650 0 $a Mother and child. 650 0 $a Surgery, Plastic $x Complications. 650 0 $a Bereavement. 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Audiobooks. $2 lcgft 710 2 $a Playaway Digital Audio, $e issuing body. 710 2 $a Playaway Products, LLC, $e issuing body. 941 $a 1 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20240604014318.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=91815F8A223B11EF96E545AA58ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
