Irina Ahn

Americans Some Strange Irina Ahn

A memoir of the author's life with her Korean in-laws where her lovingly demonstrative, Konglish-speaking mother-in-law takes center stage. The comedy and stress caused by their clash of cultures is highlighted as they share homes together along the Pacific Coast Highway, from southern California to Seattle. Little prepared for the linguistic, religious, generational, and personality differences they would have, the author's husband and herself, along with their two boys, experience trials and tribulations in a multigenerational, multicultural family that leave them all deeply frazzled, often laughing, and forever bonded.
