Description

In this candid memoir, a Korean American woman adopted by a white family examines the forces that shaped her identity, belonging, and understanding of family. Raised in a sheltered Oregon community, she comes of age navigating the often-unseen realities of racism and the complexities of transracial adoption. As she searches for her birth family, she confronts long-held assumptions and explores how love, loss, memory, and cultural inheritance intersect. Thoughtful and deeply personal, the book offers a nuanced reflection on adoption, family secrets, and the lifelong search for home.
