Mom's Bank Account (revised Edition)
General Fiction妈妈的银行账户(修订版)
(us) Catherine Forbes
With a touch of nostalgia, "Mom's Bank Account" reviews the life of a Norwegian family who immigrated to San Francisco, USA. Immigrant life is far from as sweet and beautiful as the family imagined. Making ends meet, taking care of family, and integrating into life in a foreign land... All of this is extremely frustrating. However, under the influence of mother, the family always faces daily setbacks and challenges with wisdom and perseverance. As long as my mother is around, my family will be full of courage to overcome difficulties and tide over difficulties together. When dad needs an operation, mom knows how to deal with the greedy doctor's wife; when the tenant runs away because of rent debt, mom can find a way to compensate; when the withdrawn aunt is in trouble, mom knows how to help her spend her old age; when the "little ladies" at home get into trouble at school, mom comes to resolve the embarrassment... Only mom knows how to use a secret bank account and a beautiful lie to ensure that the children live a worry-free life and grow up happily.
