Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother, by Amy Chua (Used)

Amy Chua's 2011 memoir chronicles her attempt to raise her two daughters using strict, traditional Chinese parenting methods emphasizing discipline, academic excellence, and minimal tolerance for anything less than top performance. The book's arc turns on her younger daughter's rebellion at age thirteen, prompting Chua's own reassessment — by her account, it is less a parenting manual than a memoir of her family's journey across two cultures and her transformation as a mother.
