Perfect for readers of Olga Dies Dreaming and The Fortunes of Jaded Women. Vietnamese refugees Debbie and Phil Tran have built a comfortable life for themselves in Toronto with their family nail salon. But when an ultra-glam chain salon opens across the street, their world is rocked. Complicating matters further, their landlord has jacked up the rent and it seems only a matter of time before they lose their business and everything they've built. They enlist the help of their daughter, Jessica, who has just returned home after a messy breakup and a messier firing. Together with their son, Dustin, and niece, Thuy, they devise some good old-fashioned sabotage. Relationships are put to the test as the line between right and wrong gets blurred. Debbie and Phil must choose: do they keep their family intact or fight for their salon? Sunshine Nails is a light-hearted, urgent fable of gentrification with a cast of memorable and complex characters who showcase the diversity of immigrant experiences and community resilience"-- $c Provided by publisher. 541 $d 20230712. 650 1 $a Refugees $z Vietnam $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Refugees $z Canada $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Vietnamese $z Canada $v Fiction. 650 $a Families $v Fiction. 650 $a Manicuring $v Fiction. 650 $a Family-owned business enterprises $v Fiction. 651 $a Toronto (Ont) $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Novels. 941 $a 19 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240710064038.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20240509013412.0 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314025659.0 952 $l GZPE631 $d 20240305022150.0 952 $l XAPE737 $d 20240227010706.0 952 $l VXPE964 $d 20240217013322.0 952 $l BRPD251 $d 20240119020905.0 952 $l HNPC845 $d 20240111055650.0 952 $l UGPF911 $d 20231207020527.0 952 $l EBPE325 $d 20231028015504.0 952 $l CIPB482 $d 20231018010624.0 952 $l KJPF566 $d 20231010042500.0 952 $l WUPB305 $d 20230915011106.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20230902014016.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20230808011313.0 952 $l YTPG232 $d 20230802011836.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20230802011148.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20230802010650.0 952 $l DBPE173 $d 20230718013354.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=07D84EAE253111EE91433F782CECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
