Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 I had never thought of my mother as an embarrassment, but the sight of all the kids in the school staring at us before the bell rang was enough to make me pretend I didn’t know her.

#2 The problem was that my mother, like most women of her generation, had been only briefly educated. She had dreamed of becoming a midwife, but her father had refused the two earlier suitors who had come for her so that she could pursue her dream. She married my father, and had a child by the end of the year.

#3 I spent a day in America with my father, and I realized that his description of America was correct. The bathrooms were clean and the people were very kind.
