-

All weddings have some family drama, and all families have their own generational tension. It's no different for Mai Neng Moua and her mother, Yer Vu.

Yer Vu was once a different kind of bride in a different country. She has expectations for her daughter's wedding. Mai Neng knows this ... but she has her own expectations, too.

This episode is about two equally strong women and how growing up in two very different cultures can affect a relationship.


Nora also writes sad & funny books! You can buy them here.
