Nicole Chung, author of All You Can Ever Know, has done it again with another wonderful memoir about growing up as a transracial adoptee and then losing both her adoptive parents. A Living Remedy is a story about family love and loss, regardless of how the family is formed.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Family love.
- You were well, if not always perfectly, loved.
- You were temperamentally different from your parents, especially your dad. This may be more common in adoption. How did these differences impact you growing up?
- Things my mom sent me, I sent my mom, my mom gave me.
- Growing out of the socioeconomic level you were raised in.
- Your mother thought you were ashamed of them.
- What is middle class?
- There is a big difference between being working class and middle class.
- “Our “broke” bore no resemblance to my parent's “broke.” ...We always had options.
- The impact of lack of money on health.
- Impact of Covid on families trying to care for loved ones.
- Your sister Cindy.
- Cindy wasn’t well-loved. How did she deal with the differences in her life vs your life?
