Based on a true story, Dreams of my Mothers, is a powerful account of a boy coming of age, but it is ultimately a story of the redemption and triumph of two women--mothers from the opposite ends of the world and the human condition. Their love for the same child takes them beyond the brink of their personal tragedies and pain to find transformation and life missions they could not have imagined. Author Joel Peterson gives us a vivid and griping story of a biracial, impoverished boy who, through the transcendent love of his mothers, rises above questions of identity, race, physical limitations, and prejudice to become a unique American success story. It touches on all the issues of who we are -as a people, as a nation, and as individuals. Dreams of My Mothers is a story particular to one person, but relevant to all. It is American, yet global. It is a story that is intensely personal, yet universal in its themes and humanness. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

As for the main character Young Nam/Noah - I think there is a bit of wish fullfillment from the author when he wrote this character. It seems like Noah manages to not only succeed at life, but ends up in the top tier. Top tier in the military, top tier executive. Also, him having a driver to take him to see his mother was a bit excessive...
I also wish there was more of Young Nam/Noah's day to day life. Specifically, direct interactions with his neighbors when he lived in Korea, and than his initial months and years with his adopted family, the Lindquists.
Overall, I'm glad I read it. I learned quite a bit about American Policy on the children of American soldiers born to foreign mothers. I'd like to know how this policy has changed. ( )
