Quote #10
"Jenny had told me [...] she would never have any children of her own, so she would help me raise my children [...] I felt I had lost my American daughter." (17.4)
Family isn't always about blood—sometimes it's simply about love. Foua and Nao Kao are more than happy to spread the love to anyone willing to spread it back. Which shows that in the end, they made Jeanine's life a lot better simply by being a part of it. And that makes it all the sadder when she passes away, but it's one relationship in this book full of prejudice that shows a successful bond across cultural difference.
