Chung investigates the mysteries and complexities of her transracial adoption in this chronicle of unexpected family for anyone who has struggled to figure out where they belong.
Nicole Chung was born severely premature, placed for adoption by her Korean parents, and raised by a white family in a sheltered Oregon town. She was told her biological parents had made the ultimate sacrifice in the hope of giving her a better life, that forever feeling slightly out of place was her fate as a transracial adoptee. But Nicole grew up facing prejudice her adoptive family couldn't see, and wondered if the story she'd been told was the whole truth. Here Chung tells of her search for the people who gave her up, and chronicles the repercussions of unearthing painful family secrets. -- adapted from jacket

Pretty good submitted by zmclaugh on July 8, 2019, 7:44pm An interesting look at trans-racial adoption.

Beautifully raw and real submitted by czadams on August 28, 2022, 10:28am As an adoptee I was so impressed with her ability to express her experiences so clearly. The theme of motherhood and questions of what could have been are also soo deep and real! Love it.
I want to write a memoir now! Haha.
