RECOMENDADO POR JENNA BUSH EN SU CLUB DE LECTURA DEL TODAY SHOW

Preseleccionada para la Medalla Carnegie de Excelencia del 2023.

Seleccionado como uno de los libros favoritos de la Lista de Lectura de Verano 2022 de Barack Obama.

En este éxito de ventas del New York Times y el programa de televisión Today - Read with Jenna Book Club Pick, un error en el juicio lleva a una joven madre a un programa de reformas del gobierno donde la custodia de su hijo está en juego, en este "surrealista" (People), "notable" (Vogue) y "exasperantemente oportuno" (The New York Times Book Review) estreno de novela.

Una novela inteligente que captura las presiones de la maternidad moderna y muestra cómo la sociedad juzga rápidamente a los demás. Impresionante, intrépida, con cierto humor macabro y con mucho suspense. Una novela feminista magistral.

TODA MUJER TIENE UN MAL DÍA

Frida Liu es una madre soltera de 39 años propensa a la ansiedad. En Filadelfia, donde vive, la denuncian por dejar a su hija sola durante un breve período de tiempo. Los Servicios de Protección Infantil del Estado, cada vez más empoderados, se llevan a su hija Harriet y ponen en vigilancia la casa de Frida. Después de una serie de visitas supervisadas, un juez considera que Frida no es apta como madre, temporalmente.

Su única esperanza es seguir compartiendo la custodia de Harriet con su ex (y la cariñosa novia de él) y aprobar los exámenes impuestos por el nuevo y preciado programa gubernamental. Se trata de un programa interno de doce meses, una escuela situada en un campus universitario abandonado, que ha de ayudar a Frida (y a otras malas madres de todo el país) a convertirse de nuevo en madres aptas. El Estado ha creado ayudantes e instructores que deberán ayudar a las madres in situ. Se trata de jóvenes programados para medir y registrar si las mujeres arrepentidas por su comportamiento sienten una profunda devoción hacia sus hijos. Estos ayudantes se convertirán en algo muy parecido a sus hijos.

Frida y otras mujeres viven en esta escuela durante un año indigno. Un año en el que Frida oscilará de la obstinada esperanza al dolor en medio de un constante adoctrinamiento. A pesar del afecto que empieza a sentir por su "ayudante", Frida no está segura de poder sobrevivir. Otras madres no han sobrevivido. Sin embargo, Frida está decidida a reunirse nuevamente con Harriet, para recordarle a su hija el valor de su amor imperfecto, al margen de si el Estado la considera una buena madre o no.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Longlisted for the 2023 Carnegie Medal for Excellence.

Selected as One of Barack Obama's Summer 2022 Reading List Picks!

In this New York Times bestseller and Today show Read with Jenna Book Club Pick, one lapse in judgement lands a young mother in a government reform program where custody of her child hangs in the balance, in this "surreal" (People), "remarkable" (Vogue), and "infuriatingly timely" (The New York Times Book Review) debut novel.

Frida Liu is struggling. She doesn't have a career worthy of her Chinese immigrant parents' sacrifices. She can't persuade her husband, Gust, to give up his wellness-obsessed younger mistress. Only with Harriet, their cherubic daughter, does Frida finally attain the perfection expected of her. Harriet may be all she has, but she is just enough.

Until Frida has a very bad day.

The state has its eye on mothers like Frida. The ones who check their phones, letting their children get injured on the playground; who let their children walk home alone. Because of one moment of poor judgement, a host of government officials will now determine if Frida is a candidate for a Big Brother-like institution that measures the success or failure of a mother's devotion.

Faced with the possibility of losing Harriet, Frida must prove that a bad mother can be redeemed. That she can learn to be good.

An "intense" (Oprah Daily), "captivating" (Today) page-turner that is also a transgressive novel of ideas about the perils of "perfect" upper-middle class parenting; the violence enacted upon women by both the state and, at times, one another; the systems that separate families; and the boundlessness of love, The School for Good Mothers introduces, in Frida, an everywoman for the ages. Using dark wit to explore the pains and joys of the deepest ties that bind us, Chan has written a modern literary classic.

Good shelf to upgrade my awkward kitchen!
Size: 42 inch 2 Tier
This shelf is exactly what I was looking for for my awkward kitchen in my new house. Don't mind the plywood walls (who knows what the previous owners were thinking 🤣) but anyways, we had this awkward gap between the kitchen counters and the stove, so I got a stainless steel shelf to fill the gap and add some more counterspace, and I found this industrial style pipe shelving, which was the perfect size and height to fit in this gap on the wall and give us more storage/organization space. It's easy to assemble and hang up, and seems very strong and sturdy. It's a little heavy, but lightweight enough to hang easily. Right out of the box, it was disappointing to see some scuffs in the black paint on the piping, especially for the price. Luckily, the biggest scuff is in a pretty inconspicuous space so it's not a big deal. Definitely not worth returning to see if another one wouldn't have any scuffs (especially since many of the other reviews mentioned scuffs too). It's wabi sabi I suppose 😅 Also, not a single extra screw or hardware was included. Not a big deal, but screws are cheap enough to through in one extra just in case one is missing or lost. Overall, mostly happy with the purchase. The wood is solid and the shelf looks nice in my kicthen!

Easy to put together. A little bit too heavy for Sheetrock. I had to use some bigger screws. I love the look with my cabinet.

WORTH IT!! 👍😷😆
Format: Paperback
After passing pharm 3 I still found I was having a difficult time recognizing which categories common drugs like omeprezole fit into. I'm at the end of nursing school and start my capstone soon. I bought this so that I will be able to confidently tell the patient about the medications I am giving them. I would highly recommend this book to beginners or even those done with school that still struggle with meds. Guerra incorporates memory tricks using mnemonics's and root words. There is even a cardio drug song!! Each chapter is divided into sections of the body that the drug treats; GI, musculoskeletal, respiratory, immune, cardio, and endocrine. Read the book slow, let it sink in, highlight and put in your own notes! I wish I had this 2 years ago! My pharm professor was very knowledable but went so fast that most concepts went over my head. This book allows you to go at you own pace to ensure that you actual absorb the information, so that you can retain it long-term. It doesn't have every drug, it has about 250 of the most common. There are re-caps and quizzes at the end of each chapter. This has been so helpful!! I hope it helps you too!!
