Highwire Moon by Susan Straight
5.0
As a daughter of a strong hardworking woman who sacrificed so much throughout her life, whether it was for her siblings or her children, this book was the first that I've read to come close to describing the lengths that a mother (like mine) or a daughter would go to for their beloved.
As a reader of a diverse background, albeit not the same background as the characters, it was definitely interesting to get a glimpse into a society so much like mine in its bilingualism and divide between holding on to the traditions of the past and going forward with advancements of the future.
