Second time reading it. Still impactful, and powerful, and important. #bookclubreads

Zoodles for supper!

This is a powerful memoir, but whoever produced the audiobook did a poor job of stitching the takes together. Early on, the narrator‘s delivery varies so much it actually sounds like there‘re two different people at work. #audiocooking

A profound and beautiful and important book. A narrative about adoption that we must hear.

Very interesting memoir of a woman who returns to Korea as an adult, having been adopted by white Canadians as an infant, to go through the challenging process of finding and then building a relationship with her birth family. She finds a complex family, including parents who had been estranged by her birth, with multiple generations and a variety of values and experiences.
My #Booked2020 pick for #parent/childmemoir.
