Ungrateful Immigrant Daughter: A Memoir from the Child of a Mail-Order Bride - Katya Suvorova

Descriere Ungrateful Immigrant Daughter: A Memoir from the Child of a Mail-Order Bride - Katya Suvorova

In this darkly funny and irreverent memoir, the daughter of a mail-order bride unpacks her undocumented childhood in America. \n The perfect read for fans of the jaw-dropping twists of 90 Day Fiancé and the emotional gut punch of I'm Glad My Mom Died. \n \nGrowing up undocumented in Houston, Texas, Katya Suvorova learned that keeping her family together meant dodging the police, enduring her mother's many husbands, and babysitting her younger sister instead of finishing the third grade. \n \nHer understanding of her life shifted dramatically at seventeen, when Katya discovered her mother's advertisement in a forgotten Eastern European mail-order bride catalog from the 1990s. As she grew older, Katya came to better understand what her mother had risked when she smuggled herself and her then three-year-old daughter from Russia into the US. \n \nWhen your parents sacrifice their lives so yours can be better, to whom do you owe your future? \n \nUngrateful Immigrant Daughter explores difficult questions and stories both shocking and hilarious across Katya's childhood through to an adulthood estranged from the woman who sacrificed everything for her. Her sharp, dry wit engages readers in a deeply relatable take on the experience of being a child of immigrants and unraveling a landscape of family secrets and lies, sharing her unique story of being the undocumented daughter of a mail-order bride.\n
