My Mother-in-Law Hates Garlic: Superstitions, Spouses, and Cultural Clashes

Some battles aren't fought in war zones - they're fought at the dinner table.

When her daughter married into a family bound by rigid tradition and silent judgment, Sharon never imagined that something as small as garlic could become a line in the sand. My Mother-in-Law Hates Garlic is a raw, unfiltered account of how culture, superstition, and silence can divide - and how one woman refused to let them erase her truth.

From whispered curses to broken traditions, this deeply personal memoir explores the collision of East and West, of mother and daughter, of expectation and individuality. It is more than a story about in-laws. It's about mothers and daughters, survival and selfhood, and the legacy of traditions that bind - and break - us.

Woven with cultural insight, ancestral beliefs, and the humor and heartbreak of family life, this book is a powerful reminder that the smallest acts - a shared meal, a spoken word, a choice to stand firm - can become revolutionary in the fight to be heard.

Now available worldwide, My Mother-in-Law Hates Garlic speaks to anyone who's ever navigated love across generations, cultures, and unspoken expectations - and found their own voice on the other side. Perfect for readers of memoir, cultural nonfiction, and family stories that bridge worlds.
