It was her choice.
But this is mine.
A mother’s path from generational trauma to radical self-worth. I AM GOOD is a memoir about breaking cycles, finding your voice, and finally coming home to yourself.
A Story of Hope and Healing
Xiaorong Deng's life was a landscape of unspoken grief—from her mother's suicide when she was seven to the lingering ghosts of abandonment and rejection. For decades, she carried the heavy belief that she was not good enough, a feeling that followed her from rural China to New Zealand, Australia, and finally, Canada.But when unexpected motherhood arrives, Xiaorong is forced to confront the shadows of her past. Fearing she will pass on her own trauma to her daughters, she embarks on a raw and courageous journey of healing. I AM GOOD is a powerful memoir about a woman who, in learning to be a mother, finally learns to mother herself. It is a story of breaking generational cycles, of finding love in the most unexpected places, and of discovering the unshakable truth that we are all worthy of love and belonging.
