I finish Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother. The decision to read this book did not come lightly. Will this book give me insight or delve into dark memories? My verdict: this is not a particularly well written book by a mother who is trying to justify her verbal abuse tendencies. It leads neither to insight nor the satisfaction of a good read.
I work my first shift in 2 months: 4 hours and 45 minutes. The shift goes by fast--chatting with colleagues, seeing interesting cases, getting back into the groove of working.
I head to the end of the subway line to dine with Lydia at North--fitting to be dining on Persian food just after Persian New Year. Lydia and I had a few false starts the past few months, cancelling our rare visits. We have lots to catch up. Lydia is a full time mother of four and part time fitness instructor. She is one of the most natural mothers I know. Yet, with this inborn talent to mother, she adds much thought and care in what she imparts.
