Susan Lieu has long been searching for answers. About her family’s past and about her own future. Refugees from the Vietnam War, Susan’s family escaped to California in the 1980s after five failed attempts. Upon arrival, Susan’s mother was their savvy, charismatic North Star, setting up two successful nail salons and orchestrating every success—until Susan was eleven. That year, her mother died from a botched tummy tuck. After the funeral, no one was ever allowed to talk about her or what had happened.

Thanks, sis for taking me to my first #booksigningevent for @susanlieu ‘s book
#manicuristsdaughter @advancebeautycollege
I love the audiobook! Read by the author herself, she adds tone (all SIX tones and more)! I loved hearing her stories because it made me feel so much less alone. Being my mom’s first born as an American born Vietnamese, it was often difficult to grasp both cultures fully. To the Vietnamese, i was never Vietnamese enough… to the Americans, i wasnt American…my son is mixed and also struggles with not being this or that enough… we are not alone… and to have this book written in an easy going, comical but exposed / raw way… it is easy for me to listen to this w my son and say:
See? We all struggle together…in similar / different ways. How we work thru the struggle shapes who we are and strengthens our character. I am ME enough and you are the perfect amount of this AND that!
