Finding Your Roots with Cynthia Lim


Listen Later

In this episode, we connect with Cynthia Lim, author of Wherever You Are: A Memoir of Love, Marriage, and Brain Injury, a memoir about her journey as a caregiver for her disabled husband. We talk about her journey as a writer and the catharsis and pain involved in telling a deeply personal story. We then discuss the disconnectedness she felt from her Chinese heritage and how that influenced her to find her roots, literally, and what she learned about her father, her family, and herself along the way.
