All You Can Ever Know by Nicole Chung

3.0

My Thoughts: Nicole Chung was born prematurely at a Seattle hospital. Shortly after birth, she was given up for adoption by parents who felt ill-equipped to care for her. Nicole was welcomed into the home of a childless caucasian couple. Growing up in small town in Oregon, Nicole often felt the sting of being different and soon came to realize the pain this caused was not something she could share with her parents. As Nicole Chung grew toward adulthood her desire to find out more about her birth family grew stronger and stronger. All You Can Ever Know is her moving account of her journey toward making the initial decision to reach out in search of this family and all that came after. I thoroughly enjoyed Chung’s memoir and especially think it’s an important book to read for anyone involved in a cross-cultural adoption. She gives the reader a lot to think about while remaining true to BOTH her families.

Note: I received a copy of this book from Catapult (via Edelweiss) in exchange for my honest review. Many thanks!
