"This mesmerizes." --Publishers Weekly starred review
"I've always felt unfit as a Korean but somehow too Korean everywhere else."
Tasha Jun has always been caught between worlds: American and Korean, faith and doubt, family devotion and fierce independence. As a Korean American, she wandered between seemingly opposing worlds, struggling to find a voice to speak and a firm place for her feet to land.
The world taught Tasha that her Korean normal was a barrier to belonging--that assimilation was the only way she would ever be truly accepted. But if that were true, did that mean God had made a mistake in knitting her together?
Told with tender honesty and compelling prose, Tell Me the Dream Again is a memoir-in-essays exploring
- what it means to be biracial in America today
- the joy and healing that comes with embracing every part of who we are, and
- how our identity in Christ is tightly woven with the unique colors, scents, and culture he's given us.
