RECOMENDADO POR JENNA BUSH EN SU CLUB DE LECTURA DEL TODAY SHOW

Preseleccionada para la Medalla Carnegie de Excelencia del 2023.

Seleccionado como uno de los libros favoritos de la Lista de Lectura de Verano 2022 de Barack Obama.

En este éxito de ventas del New York Times y el programa de televisión Today - Read with Jenna Book Club Pick, un error en el juicio lleva a una joven madre a un programa de reformas del gobierno donde la custodia de su hijo está en juego, en este "surrealista" (People), "notable" (Vogue) y "exasperantemente oportuno" (The New York Times Book Review) estreno de novela.

Una novela inteligente que captura las presiones de la maternidad moderna y muestra cómo la sociedad juzga rápidamente a los demás. Impresionante, intrépida, con cierto humor macabro y con mucho suspense. Una novela feminista magistral.

TODA MUJER TIENE UN MAL DÍA

Frida Liu es una madre soltera de 39 años propensa a la ansiedad. En Filadelfia, donde vive, la denuncian por dejar a su hija sola durante un breve período de tiempo. Los Servicios de Protección Infantil del Estado, cada vez más empoderados, se llevan a su hija Harriet y ponen en vigilancia la casa de Frida. Después de una serie de visitas supervisadas, un juez considera que Frida no es apta como madre, temporalmente.

Su única esperanza es seguir compartiendo la custodia de Harriet con su ex (y la cariñosa novia de él) y aprobar los exámenes impuestos por el nuevo y preciado programa gubernamental. Se trata de un programa interno de doce meses, una escuela situada en un campus universitario abandonado, que ha de ayudar a Frida (y a otras malas madres de todo el país) a convertirse de nuevo en madres aptas. El Estado ha creado ayudantes e instructores que deberán ayudar a las madres in situ. Se trata de jóvenes programados para medir y registrar si las mujeres arrepentidas por su comportamiento sienten una profunda devoción hacia sus hijos. Estos ayudantes se convertirán en algo muy parecido a sus hijos.

Frida y otras mujeres viven en esta escuela durante un año indigno. Un año en el que Frida oscilará de la obstinada esperanza al dolor en medio de un constante adoctrinamiento. A pesar del afecto que empieza a sentir por su "ayudante", Frida no está segura de poder sobrevivir. Otras madres no han sobrevivido. Sin embargo, Frida está decidida a reunirse nuevamente con Harriet, para recordarle a su hija el valor de su amor imperfecto, al margen de si el Estado la considera una buena madre o no.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Longlisted for the 2023 Carnegie Medal for Excellence.

Selected as One of Barack Obama's Summer 2022 Reading List Picks!

In this New York Times bestseller and Today show Read with Jenna Book Club Pick, one lapse in judgement lands a young mother in a government reform program where custody of her child hangs in the balance, in this "surreal" (People), "remarkable" (Vogue), and "infuriatingly timely" (The New York Times Book Review) debut novel.

Frida Liu is struggling. She doesn't have a career worthy of her Chinese immigrant parents' sacrifices. She can't persuade her husband, Gust, to give up his wellness-obsessed younger mistress. Only with Harriet, their cherubic daughter, does Frida finally attain the perfection expected of her. Harriet may be all she has, but she is just enough.

Until Frida has a very bad day.

The state has its eye on mothers like Frida. The ones who check their phones, letting their children get injured on the playground; who let their children walk home alone. Because of one moment of poor judgement, a host of government officials will now determine if Frida is a candidate for a Big Brother-like institution that measures the success or failure of a mother's devotion.

Faced with the possibility of losing Harriet, Frida must prove that a bad mother can be redeemed. That she can learn to be good.

An "intense" (Oprah Daily), "captivating" (Today) page-turner that is also a transgressive novel of ideas about the perils of "perfect" upper-middle class parenting; the violence enacted upon women by both the state and, at times, one another; the systems that separate families; and the boundlessness of love, The School for Good Mothers introduces, in Frida, an everywoman for the ages. Using dark wit to explore the pains and joys of the deepest ties that bind us, Chan has written a modern literary classic.

Great shampoo
As a parent, finding the right skincare products for my baby is a top priority. Eucerin Baby Body Wash and Shampoo has proven to be an excellent choice for my family. Here’s why: **Gentle Formula:** The formula is incredibly gentle, free from harsh chemicals and fragrances. This makes it perfect for my baby's sensitive skin. Since using it, we've had no issues with irritation or dryness, which has been a problem with other products in the past. **2-in-1 Convenience:** The combination of body wash and shampoo in one bottle is a game-changer. It simplifies bath time and reduces the number of products I need to buy and store. The lather is rich and easy to rinse off, leaving my baby's skin and hair clean and soft. **Dermatologist Recommended:** Knowing that Eucerin is a brand recommended by dermatologists gives me confidence in its safety and effectiveness. The fact that it’s hypoallergenic and free from dyes and soap adds to my peace of mind. **Packaging:** The pump bottle design is very user-friendly, especially when handling a squirmy baby. It dispenses the right amount of product and can be operated with one hand. **Value for Money:** While it might be a bit more expensive than some other baby washes, the quality and results justify the price. A little goes a long way, so a single bottle lasts quite a while. Overall, Eucerin Baby Body Wash and Shampoo has been a fantastic addition to our bath time routine. It’s a reliable, high-quality product that cares for my baby’s delicate skin and hair. I highly recommend it to other parents looking for a gentle and effective baby wash and shampoo.

The only wash I trust for my kids’ sensitive skin
Both of my kids have sensitive skin and this is one of the only products I’ve consistently trusted. We’ve tried a few “gentle” washes over the years that still caused dryness or little patches of irritation, but Eucerin has always been reliably soothing. It’s completely unscented which I prefer for babies and toddlers. The pump bottle is convenient during bath time and the texture is creamy but not heavy. It rinses clean and doesn’t leave any residue. I’ve also noticed it doesn’t sting their eyes which is a big plus for a tear-free wash. This three-pack is a great value since we go through it quickly. I’ve even used it myself a few times when I had dry skin and found it just as gentle for adults. If you’re looking for a no-frills, dermatologist-recommended shampoo and body wash that truly works for sensitive skin, this is it. I keep coming back to it because it does exactly what it claims to.

Great for sensitive skin
LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! I have very sensitive skin and this shampoo has been a life saver for my dry scalp! It leaves the hair feeling sooo clean but in a gentle calming way. I can tell when I am using it my scalp is being refreshed but not stripped. I cannot recommend this enough.

Great sensitive skin product.
All my kids have sensitive skin and have used this since they were newborns this has worked wonders for us! As a new mom I remember being so nervous to put anything on my kids skin. Thankful that this was my first product I found and used and we’ve stuck with it since. My oldest is 7 and still prefers this shampoo and body wash.
