A new book offers a different look at stepmoms this
Mother’s Day
|
|
Stepparents are often viewed as unloving and
unkind. Fictional stories, especially fairy tales, often portray
stepmothers as cruel, wicked and evil.
This wrong perception is what Johnny Fong,
a Chinese-Filipino physician and surgeon working in the United
States since 1972, is trying to correct with his new book that tells
the fictional origin of the observance of Mother’s Day.
