A Living Remedy by Nicole Chung is a follow-up to her first memoir, All You Can Never Know, which I posted briefly about before. Where that was book was about her early life and connecting with her birth family, this one circles back to cover more with her adopted parents and their passing.

It is a beautiful book, and I found tremendously sad but ultimately hopeful. While I don’t have anything comparable in my life to being adopted and those aspects of family dynamics, I certainly connected with her story of losing her mom at long-distance in the first year of the pandemic.
