When Nora's father dies, she inherits a box of his old letters and journals. Compelled to understand the man she barely knew, Nora embarks on a journey to unravel the mysteries of her family's past. As she delves into her father's life, Nora confronts the complex legacies of adoption, race, and identity that have shaped her own existence. A Living Remedy is a poignant exploration of the ways we seek to know ourselves through the stories of those who came before.
