Praise and love forĀ All You Can Ever Know:
āChungāsĀ All You Can Ever KnowĀ takes the grammar of adoptionānouns, verbs, and direct objectāand with extraordinary integrity remakes them into a narrative about what it means to be a subject. A primary document of witness, Chung writes her memoir as a transracial adoptee with honesty, wisdom, and love. Her search and what she discovers offer us lifeās meaning and purpose of the very highest order.ā
