About Ungrateful Immigrant Daughter: A Memoir From the Child of a Mail-Order Bride by Katya Suvorova
In this memoir, Katya Suvorova recounts an undocumented childhood in Houston, Texas, as the daughter of a woman who came from Russia to the United States as a mail-order bride. Her early years included avoiding the police, living through her mother’s multiple marriages, and caring for her younger sister instead of finishing third grade.
At seventeen, Suvorova discovered her mother’s advertisement in a 1990s Eastern European mail-order bride catalog. The discovery reshaped her understanding of her family’s past and her mother’s decision to bring her to the United States. With dark humor, the memoir considers family sacrifice, immigration, secrets, and the difficult question of what children owe their parents. It may interest readers of immigrant memoirs and candid accounts of complicated family relationships.
