A Living Remedy by Nicole Chung
A Memoir
"A Living Remedy" is a heartfelt memoir by Nicole Chung that delves into themes of family, class, and grief. The story follows Nicole's journey to understand her adoptive parents' lives and the challenges they faced. Growing up in a predominantly white town in Oregon, Nicole eventually finds a sense of belonging at a university on the East Coast. As she builds her own life, she grapples with the stark differences between her upbringing and her current middle-class existence. The narrative takes a poignant turn when Nicole's father passes away due to health issues exacerbated by limited access to healthcare. Soon after, her mother is diagnosed with cancer, and the pandemic further complicates their ability to be together. Through these personal trials, Nicole reflects on the enduring strength of family bonds and the societal inequalities that impact their lives.
