When Mai Neng Moua decides to get married, her mother, a widow, wants the groom to follow Hmong custom and pay a bride price, which both honors the work the bride's family has done in raising a daughter and offers a promise of love and security from the groom's family. Mai Neng, who knows the pain this tradition has caused, says no. Her husband-to-be supports her choice. What happens next is devastating, and it raises questions about the very meaning of being Hmong in America."--Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Moua, Mai Neng, $d 1974- 600 10 $a Yang, Blong $x Family. 650 0 $a Hmong Americans $x Marriage customs and rites. 650 0 $a Bride price. 650 0 $a Hmong American women $z Minnesota $v Biography. 650 0 $a Hmong Americans $z Minnesota $x Social life and customs. 650 0 $a Mothers and daughters $z Minnesota $v Biography. 650 0 $a Children of immigrants $z Minnesota $v Biography. 650 0 $a Married people $z Saint Paul $z Saint Paul $v Biography. 650 0 $a Kidneys $x Transplantation $v Biography. 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 941 $a 6 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010020013.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909050630.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20191212010102.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20171205011857.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20171020010128.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20170603012136.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=32FFE37619C611E7BD0085CCDAD10320 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
