I don't remember a lot about the book other than that I enjoyed reading it. It was nice to get your take on the book. I didn't know that the book was structured like the game of mahjong. As I face challenges in life that my sons don't realize I'm going through I have actually been wondering about things that my mom went through and about how much I really understand and know her. There were times when I was a teenager when she wouldn't listen when I was talking to her and at the time I was just angry about it, now I wonder what was happening in her life that she could have been so distracted.
