I wan’t expecting to like this book as much as I did. Very touching memoir about the author struggling to figure out her identity as a mixed race person and connecting with her mother’s heritage after her death. The audiobook was narrated by the author herself, and I really appreciated the help to pronounce some of the dish names and Korean words.

 I knew this would make me sad, I just didn’t know how sad. 

From unaccepting, unrelenting mother figures to moving through the minefield of grief a lot of it hit some angry wounds. And at the same time it felt so incredibly intimate to bear witness to someone else's wounds that I’ll never fully understand (speaking as a white woman). Overall I think it’s beautifully told, even when difficult to work through.
