Ungrateful Immigrant Daughter by Katya Suvorova

The perfect read for fans of the jaw-dropping twists of 90 Day Fiance and the emotional gut punch of I'm Glad My Mom Died. Growing up undocumented in Houston, Texas, Katya Suvorova learned that keeping her family together meant dodging the police, enduring her mother's many husbands, and babysitting her younger sister instead of finishing the third grade. Her understanding of her life shifted dramatically at seventeen, when Katya discovered her mother's advertisement in a forgotten Eastern European mail-order bride catalog from the 1990s. As she grew older, Katya came to better understand what her mother had risked when she smuggled herself and her then three-year-old daughter from Russia into the US. When your parents sacrifice their lives so yours can be better, to whom do you owe your future? Ungrateful Immigrant Daughter explores difficult questions and stories both shocking and hilarious across Katya's childhood through to an adulthood estranged from the woman who sacrificed everything for her. Her sharp, dry wit engages readers in a deeply relatable take on the experience of being a child of immigrants and unraveling a landscape of family secrets and lies, sharing her unique story of being the undocumented daughter of a mail-order bride.
