A Living Remedy by Nicole Chung

3.0

This memoir is Nicole Chung’s reflection on her grief over the deaths of her adoptive parents and her anger at the unfairness, inaccurate, slow, and overpriced healthcare system in America. She also takes some jabs at the adoption system and transracial adoption situations. I felt like this needed to be put down on paper. While the book is t exactly what I expected, Chung does accomplish all of this. It gets a little dry in some places, and the Asian-American experiences seem redundant to some other books I’ve read. But, as this is her life story and her grief and anger’s are real, I felt like those aspects are really well written and I appreciate her voice. Enlightening and forthcoming read the pulls some punches.
