waiting behind the trees/Double face blog

The story "Waiting being the trees" was about Ying-Ying and her personal struggles with marriage as a young woman. She married a drunken man that obviously didn't give a care about her, but even so she fell in-love with him. She really revolved her entire life around being with her husband, and she even got pregnant by him. Later on in the marriage, she found out that he was cheating on her, and she was bot mentally and emotionally crushed. After she found out he was cheating on her, she killed her newborn baby, and moved to America to marry an American man and have a whole new family. The story "Double Face" is about how Lindo's daughter Waverly is getting married, and she wants to go to a beauty salon-type thing and get "touched" up so that she looks beautiful for her new marriage. Also, this story really brings out the mother-daughter relationship between Lindo and Waverly. I'm starting to understand a lot of why problems in each of the families are so dramatic and harsh. For example, now i know why Ying-Ying had that hallucination of the baby floating in the air and pointing at her like it's mad at her, it's because when she was younger, she was so mad at her old husband that cheated on her, that she killed her new-born baby.
