Grace M. Cho grew up as the daughter of a white American merchant marine and the Korean bar hostess he met abroad. They were one of few immigrants in a xenophobic small town during the Cold War, where identity was politicized by everyday details—language, cultural references, memories, and food. When Grace was fifteen, her dynamic mother experienced the onset of schizophrenia, a condition that would continue and evolve for the rest of her life.Part food memoir, part sociological investigation, Tastes Like War is a hybrid text about a daughter’s search through intimate and global history for the roots of her mother’s schizophrenia. In her mother’s final years, Grace learned to cook dishes from her parent’s childhood in order to invite the past into the present, and to hold space for her mother’s multiple voices at the table. And through careful listening over these shared meals, Grace discovered not only the things that broke the brilliant, complicated woman who raised her—but also the things that kept her alive.

Ruku hore, ak si sa už niekedy schovávala pred svojimi deťmi. Len na chvíľku, aby si chytila dych. Nie si sama! Nepotrebuješ viac informácií, rád či návodov ani viac ďalších záväzkov. Namiesto toho potrebuješ niečo, čo ti upokojí mysel aj srdce. Niečo, čo ti pripomenie, že všetko, čo v tebe vyvoláva úzkosť, je v Božích rukách. A potrebuješ to v malých dávkach, ktoré sa zmestia do tvojho nabitého programu - aj keby to malo znamenať niekoľko ukradnutých minút v aute. Modlitby pre mamy sú tu pre teba. Nezáleží na tom, čo práve prežívaš alebo či si zavalená povinnosťami. Napriek všetkému túžiš rásť vo viere, pokoji a nádeji. Tieto krátke úvahy, spojené s modlitbou za konkrétne problémy, sa dobre čítajú aj v zhone. Môžeš po nich siahnuť tam, kde práve si, doma, s deťmi na ihrisku či keď čakáš na parkovisku. Ak hľadáš pochopenie a povzbudenie do svojich rušných dní, aj táto malá kniha ti môže pomôcť urobiť veľké zmeny v tvojom živote.
