This memoir by a parent who adopted from South Korea begins with meeting her baby at the airport gate, but then continues through Jin’s teenage years, weaving in questions of race and birth family. A meditation on human connections in the larger sense, Antonetta chronicles not just her relationship with her son, but her troubled childhood and rapprochement with her aging parents.
