Toronto: Anna Woo, 2014.<\/p>\n

Synopsis (From author’s website)<\/h4>\n

Her Mother\u2019s Voice<\/em> is about the mother-daughter relationship and cultural conflicts. It is about a Chinese mother who is dying of cancer and her adult daughter, Emily.<\/p>\n

Emily consciously and unconsciously struggles with her Chinese identity due to her experiences of racism and alienation, growing up as a second generation Canadian in a mid-sized Ontario town. She struggles against being the good and dutiful Chinese daughter, yet finds herself playing this role. Consequently, she finds herself searching for a professional who can help cure her mother\u2019s cancer. Western and Chinese medicine are pitted against each other.<\/p>\n

In addition, she has been hiding her romantic relationships from her mother. Now with her mother dying, she is forced to face her fears and become open about her current relationship with a White Anglo-Saxon man.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n
