Good Moms DO Cry is a heartfelt guide for parents, particularly immigrant moms and dads, who feel overwhelmed in the messy middle of raising children in a new country. We cry because we care deeply—because we want our kids to succeed, to belong, and to thrive. Yet the more we push, the more we worry we’re doing it wrong.

Through moving stories, cultural reflections, and practical insights, Lucy Chen shows that parenting doesn’t have to feel like a lose-lose battle between “Tiger Mother” expectations and “Bear Child” rebellion. This book takes readers on a journey from stuck to strong, showing how to move beyond tears of frustration to tears of joy.

In Part I, you’ll see the common struggles every parent faces—conflicts, miscommunication, and the crushing weight of “shoulds.” Part II reveals how to shift your mindset: communicate with love, redefine success, allow your children to fly and fail, and mend the fences that connect your hearts. Finally, Part III turns the spotlight back on you, the parent—helping you fill your own cup, embrace resilience, and rise as the hero your children truly need.

Good Moms DO Cry is not a manual for raising perfect kids or sending them to Ivy League schools. It’s a compassionate, culturally aware guide to raising resilient, joyful children—and becoming a more confident, fulfilled parent along the way.

This book will help you laugh, reflect, and breathe easier, knowing that tears are not a sign of weakness but of love. And when you embrace the journey—its twists, turns, and tender moments—you’ll discover that parenting is not just about raising strong children, but about rising stronger yourself.
