Summary provided by the publisher:
What does it mean to lose your roots—within your culture, within your family—and what happens when you find them? From early childhood, Nicole Chung heard the story of her adoption as a comforting, prepackaged myth. She believed that her Korean birth parents had made the ultimate sacrifice in the hopes of giving her a better life; that forever feeling slightly out of place was simply her fate as a transracial adoptee. But as she grew up, she wondered if the story she'd been told was the whole truth. With warmth, candor, and startling insight, Chung tells of her search for the people who gave her up, which coincided with the birth of her own child. All You Can Ever Know is a profound, moving chronicle of surprising connections and the repercussions of unearthing painful family secrets—vital reading for anyone who has ever struggled to figure out where they belong.
