Summary from Amazon:

A story of love, expectations, parent-child conflict, cultural clash and family secrets that will touch everyone’s heart. Can material things truly compensate for a mother’s love? What happens when mothers are forced to emigrate in search of economic opportunities to provide a better life for their children? What happens when barrels stuffed with food and clothing are shipped to their children in their homeland to show their love and to compensate for their absence? What happens to the child – feelings of abandonment, longing and anger? Barrel Child: A story about a young girl’s struggle to find herself and her place in today’s world, overcoming the psychological and emotional toll of being a barrel child to become a good mother to her own children.
