Overview

The Bright Survivor is a memoir offered in a unique second-person, mother-to-son approach. The mother provides a detailed story about how her son grew up in a small family of the first-generation immigrants in Canada. When they immigrated to Canada after his birth, the immigration officer asked her and her husband to ""make sure that he gets all that a Canadian deserves."" It took twenty years. She wondered sometimes if the home she had provided could have been more relaxing and better appreciated. Her version of his childhood is marked by persistent effort in a diverse world, always with an open mind and often with love and happiness.
