Looking for the next good read? We invite you to join our next Parent Book Review virtually on Tuesday, May 31st at 7 PM to discuss The School for Good Mothers, a taut and explosive debut novel by Jessamine Chan. One lapse in judgment lands a young mother in a government reform program where custody of her child hangs in the balance.
The following is Goodreads' description of The School for Good Mothers:
“Frida Liu is struggling. She doesn’t have a career worthy of her Chinese immigrant parents’ sacrifices. What’s worse is she can’t persuade her husband, Gust, to give up his wellness-obsessed younger mistress. Only with their angelic daughter Harriet does Frida finally feel she’s attained the perfection expected of her. Harriet may be all she has, but she’s just enough.
“Until Frida has a horrible day.”
Please join us virtually on Tuesday, May 31st. We ask that you let us know your intent to join so that we can plan for numbers and share the Zoom link. Our Senior School Librarian, Melissa Rutledge, will be moderating the discussion.
Land Acknowledgment
The Country Day School wishes to recognize and acknowledge the land on which the school operates. Our nearest Indigenous Nations are now the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and the Chippewas of Georgina Island. The Dish with One Spoon Wampum covenant is often cited as an example of the shared responsibility for caring for these lands among the Huron-Wendat, Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee peoples who would call these their traditional territories. CDS respects the relationship with these lands and recognizes that our connection to this land can be strengthened by our continued relationship with all First Nations, by acknowledging our shared responsibility to respect and care for the land and waters for future generations.
