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.

A wonderfully combo of prophetic word, scripture and history
Format: Paperback
A wonderful combo of the prophetic, scripture and history. Amanda Grace puts the truth into this book. Many little but important facts, truths and meanings to words names places etc to expand ones knowledge of who God is and how we all can get personal with Him. I also love and appreciate the reminders and again the truths of how history repeats itself and how now in 2025 we as Gods ppl need to step up once again and perhaps the last time before the door closes. Religion is man made, the Word is not and this book, well written and easy to take to heart will help anyone looking for truth and help in discerning satans twisted lies from Gods truth The Word. Blessings to all who read...

With 76 pants in a pack, I find them to be an excellent value for the price
Size: 2T-3T, Unit Count: 76
As a parent navigating the potty training journey, I can confidently say that Pull-Ups Boys' Skin Essentials Potty Training Pants have been a game changer for both my child and me. Here’s why I love them and what makes them an essential part of our potty training routine. Comfort and Fit: One of the standout features of these training pants is their soft and gentle fabric. The Skin Essentials line is designed to be hypoallergenic and includes ingredients like aloe to help soothe and protect my little one’s sensitive skin. The fit is great for my toddler, providing just the right amount of stretch and comfort, which is crucial during this transitional phase. My child can move freely, whether he’s playing, jumping, or running around. Absorbent and Reliable: The absorbency of these training pants is impressive. They hold up well during the day and help manage any accidents without causing a mess. I appreciate that they have a wetness indicator, which makes it easy to know when it's time for a change, helping to instill good habits as we continue potty training. Easy to Use: Pull-Ups are designed for independence, which is perfect for toddlers eager to take control of their potty training. They pull up and down like regular underwear, allowing my child to practice pulling them on and off, which builds confidence. Plus, the easy-open sides are a lifesaver for quick changes when we’re on the go. Fun Designs: Kids love fun and engaging designs, and these training pants deliver! The playful graphics featuring beloved characters make my son excited to wear them. This little touch has made a big difference in how he approaches potty training—he’s proud to wear them and feels like a “big boy.”

Very soft, high quality pull ups, but quite expensive
Size: 3T-4T, Unit Count: 112
We really enjoy this brand of pull ups as they are the softest of all the pull ups and they have adjustable straps on each side of the pull up. Most brands just are pull ups with no bells and whistles, but these have Velcro straps on each side that allow you to adjust the size but more importantly for us, it allows us to change his pull up without having to take the pants fully off. This is really convenient when we’re in a hurry or out for the day. The absorbency is some of the best diapers I’ve ever used. I feel I’m a diaper connoisseur and have tried everything from expensive to cheaper generic brands and we continue to buy these because of the quality, the Velcro straps, and also because of the reduction in substances included in the product, which is quite important for us as my sons skin gets irritated easily. The one thing that’s a negative is that they are very expensive. Diapers in general are crazy expensive but these are more expensive than other brands. I usually buy these in bulk on Sam’s website but saw they were on sale and had a deal where you subscribe and get 25% off so I bought two big packs of 112 diapers and ended up spending around $82 for 224 diapers, which is a pretty good deal. I do wish they would sell these for cheaper and unfortunately don’t think I’ll be buying them from Amazon unless they have deals such as I described above. I do overall recommend them though as they are better than any other pull up brand we’ve ever used.

Gentle on skin, strong on progress
Size: 4T-5T, Unit Count: 60
These Pull-Ups are a win for both toddlers and tired parents. The Skin Essentials design feels ultra-soft and breathable—ideal for sensitive skin and long wear. I love that they’re dermatologist-approved and sized just right for 38–50 lbs, which adds comfort and confidence during potty training. The cute prints add kid-friendly flair, and the sides are stretchy but easy for little hands to pull down themselves—big bonus for growing independence. With 60 pants per box, it’s a solid value for families going through this milestone, even with the slightly higher price tag. At $39.09 and backed by Amazon’s Choice status and 4.7 stars across 600+ reviews, they’ve earned their spot in our routine. Bonus: over 1,000 purchases last month show we’re not the only ones loving them. If you’re potty training and want gentle, effective help for sensitive skin, these Pull-Ups check all the boxes.
