Thank you so much to the publisher for this ARC of “Who Stole My Pork Belly?” I was anticipating this read so much. I’ve seen it all over the internet and I am so happy to say it exceeded my expectations. Ms. Choi, as we learn throughout the novel has handled loss, hardship, and trauma with patience, empathy grace and compassion. This was absolutely incredible.

Beautifully expressed and inspirational. The author lived a life filled with hardship, grief, abandonment, and more. She found ways to turn it into gratitude and grace by forgiving. She worked hard to become a successful lawyer to allow herself to do what she enjoyed, traveling alone and food
