"I sometimes wonder what would have happened had my father not insisted on teaching me to read and write in Korean. What would have happened if I hadn't gone vegan, started The Korean Vegan, begun peeling back the layers of my family's history?
Where would I be if I'd kept those stories to myself?
I rattle the chain between my hands. Let the weight of the horseshoes settle against my palms."
New York Times best-selling author and James Beard Award-winner, Joanne Molinaro, celebrates her mom, Sunny, on the occasion of her 75th birthday, and reflects on language barriers and bridges.
