Jordan Peele's Us meets The School For Good Mothers in this horror-tinged intergenerational saga, as a single mother's doppelganger forces her to confront the legacy of violence that has shaped every woman in their family. "Genuinely frightening story of rape, abuse, and neglect. A bold story of intergenerational trauma that creates spooky scares out of real-life atrocities." --Kirkus, STARRED Review BREAK YOUR MOTHER'S CURSE . . . BEFORE IT CONSUMES YOU TOO. Single mom Alice Chow is drowning. Between a booming small business, a resentful teenage daughter, a screen-obsessed son, and a secret boyfriend, Alice can never get everything done in a day. It's all she can do to just collapse on the couch with a bottle of wine every night. One morning, Alice wakes up and everything has been done: the counters are clear, the kids' rooms are tidy, orders are neatly packed and labeled. As the pattern continues, she realizes that someone--or something--has been doing her chores for her. Alice knows she should be uneasy, but she's too tired to care. The extra time lets her connect with her hard-edged mother, who has started to share their family history--a "curse" beginning with her great-grandmother, who was imprisoned as a comfort woman in Hong Kong during World War II. >Following the relentless specter of generational trauma as it is handed down from mother to daughter, The Hunger We Pass Down asks what it might take to break the cycle: heroism, depravity, or both.
