Susan Ito is a struggling college student, a adult on the cusp of parental self-reliance, when she fits her birth mother for the first time. Instead of launching into adulthood, she sees herself entangled in longing for this new kind of mother love where she views her own self applied, mirrored in strange and tantalizing ways. At the same time that she explores the genetic threads that bind her to the stranger, she works as the "mouse girl", looking after a huge selection of experimental mice in a medical research lab. The partnership with her labor and birth mother is as tormented as any partially requited love storyline: ready by the telephone, haunting the mailbox, and pacing the floor wondering about a promised visit which could or may well not happen. In the meantime, she monitors the intricate family trees of the hordes of squeaky rodents in her care. Memoirist, fiction article writer, and single performer Susan Ito explores themes or templates of family, id, DNA, and love in this unique and poignant storyline.

She actually is a columnist and creative nonfiction editor at the web literary journal Literary Mama.
