An Interview with Author Nicole Chung

In this interview with Nicole Chung, All You Can Ever Know, has done it again with another wonderful memoir about growing up as a transracial adoptee and then losing both her adoptive parents. A Living Remedy is a story about family love and loss, regardless of how the family is formed.

Growing out of the socioeconomic level you were raised in.
- Your mother thought you were ashamed of them.
What is middle class?
- There is a big difference between being working class and middle class.
- “Our “broke” bore no resemblance to my parent’s “broke.” …We always had options.
The impact of lack of money on health.
Impact of Covid on families trying to care for loved ones.
