Updated with a new postscript by Amy Chua and a letter from her eldest daughter,
Sophia Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother is a story about a mother, two daughters
, and two dogs. It was supposed to be a story of how Chinese parents are better
at raising kids than Western ones. But instead, it's about a bitter clash of cul
tures, a fleeting taste of glory, and how you can be humbled by a thirteen-year-
old.
