带着对心理学和教育学的兴趣与心得，基于许多亚裔移民家庭的真实案例，彼方创作了这部《黑洞不绕行》。小说以母女双视角的手法，描述在移民加拿大的背景下，一个妈妈和高中生女儿之间，从几近崩溃到重新出发的亲子故事。它真实地折射出很多当下青少年的心理问题，父母与子女之间的沟通障碍，引发人们对究竟什么是真正的父母之爱，以及孩子怎样才算幸福成长的思考。书中也触及女性成长、伴侣关系、原生家庭等话题。是一部扣人心弦、发人深省的佳作。

About the Author and the Book
Echo Liu is a Toronto-based author who has published 52 children’s picture books, several of which can be found in Toronto Public Libraries. She has also thrown book-signing events at Indigo, Canada’s biggest bookstore. You can find Echo’s books here: www. skykypublishing.com
With great interest AND RESEARCH in psychology and education, Echo created the novel No Detours in the Black Hole based on true stories of many immigrant families: a high school girl who struggles between school life, full schedule of extracurricular activities, competitions, and high expectations from a strict mom, and a mid-aged mother who gives up a big chunk of her own life for the sake of her daughter’s future, take turns to give account of what they have experienced and thought. The tension and conflicts draw them into a depressive black hole, especially the teenage daughter.
How have they managed to come out of the black hole? What is the true meaning of children’s happiness and parental love? The book also touches areas of female empowerment, spousal relationships, and the influence of original families. Do you have any thought or experience related to the topics? Come to this online session of Book Talks, and have a thorough discussion with Echo. Everybody is welcome!
