The Bride Price: A Hmong Wedding Story by Mai Neng Moua
When Mai Neng Moua decided to get married, her mother, a widow, wanted the groom to follow Hmong custom and pay a bride price. Mai Neng refused and her husband-to-be supported her choice. What happened next raised questions about the very meaning of being Hmong in America.
"What is a marriage? A family? A culture? As a Hmong American, Mai Neng Moua discovers that these questions are far more complicated, deeper and encompassing than she or the reader supposes. The Bride Price is an absorbing and moving tale of the love between a woman and a man, a daughter and her mother, a writer and her community."
- David Mura, author of Turning Japanese: Memoirs of a Sansei
