Overview
When twenty-seven-year-old Linh Lyās recently divorced mother begins dating a coworker, Linh is determined to make sure he is worthy of her mother. Sheās seen the kind of men her motherĀ ends up withāshe grew up watching her unreliable and volatile alcoholic father as her mother worked two jobs to make ends meet. Linh is certain that her mother canāt do this on her own, but what begins as genuine worry quickly turns obsessive.
Following her mother and spying on her dates becomes part of Linhās routine, especially after aĀ universityĀ shooting at LinhāsĀ workĀ that leaves her feeling adriftāat least her momās dating life gives her something to focus on. Linh doesnāt exactly have a life of her own (dating or otherwise) and figures the best course of action isĀ actionānotĀ howĀ she handled the shooting: curl up in a ball and wait it out.
Linh is slowly forced to reconcile the image of her mother from her childhood with the woman sheās getting to know as an adult. Growing up Vietnamese in the middle of Texas with a broken household taught Linh a certain guardedĀ wayĀ of livingāone she never quite left behind.
