The Wanderer's Curse by Jennifer Hope Choi
A Memoir
When Jennifer discovers the Korean idea of yeokmasal—an alleged, inheritable urge to roam—she confronts her mother’s decades of restless moves and her own sudden displacements after a personal breakdown. Traveling between Brooklyn, South Carolina, and Oklahoma, the memoir follows their drifting apart and reconnections as Choi explores identity, belonging, and what it means to leave or stay. It’s a personal, thoughtful look at family, home, and living with uncertainty.
