She annoyed me more than anything because I didn't identify--I so wanted her to stand up for herself, to go to Annette's house or a school or a music shop and offer to teach music in America. I knew that Ma did what she did for her daughter and I recognized the dedication and love she offered her -- she gave her her life. Reading your response, I recognize more of Ma's concerns and hear her voice a bit more. Thank you. Like Emily, I didn’t give Ma much thought.

I knew that Ma did what she did for her daughter and I recognized the dedication and love she offered her — she gave her her life.

Reading your response, I recognize more of Ma’s concerns and hear her voice a bit more. Thank you.

I accessed the book through the character of Annette; I didn't give Ma much thought -- although of course, I should have! She is a truly inspiring character. .-= Emily´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.westoftheloop.com/2010/06/22/an-alternate-reality/" rel="nofollow">An alternate reality</a> =-.

I identified strongly with Ma as well, and you must be a wonderful mother yourself. I think that for Tyler, your love and faith in him will mean more than you can ever know.

Your angle from the mother's point of view is unique. You were handed treasures and then they were torn from you. How sad and unfair! Tyler is going to be inspired by you for your entire lifetime. Your love shines right through your sentences.... I reviewed this as well.
