Author: Virginia Loo | Paperback
How to B tells the adventure of a single woman with a very mobile job, deciding to have a baby on her own, and the (good and bad) unraveling of self in reconciling what it means to take up the mantle of being a single mom. It shares a candid and often absurd look at how women wrestle with expectations put upon themselves, about what it means to be a good mother, and how to be a mother in the "right" way. This tale starts in Burma, sweeps across Asia into Afghanistan, Pakistan, stops through Hilo, and finally settles into the heart of Aiea. It's here where it really starts to get real when the author tries quasi-co-parenting with her own Chinese mom.
