WOMAN OF INTEREST A Memoir

Narrator Jeena Yi guides listeners through the author's journey to find her roots and her realization that where we are may be more important than where we came from. Tracy O'Neill has always loved her adoptive family, but when COVID-19 struck the U.S., she worried about her birth mother across the world in South Korea dying alone. Enlisting detectives and distant relatives, she found her birth mother and family, a discovery that turned into a complicated personal adventure. Jeena Yi's narration captures the confusion, heartbreak, and communication barriers of this memoir with the skillful use of both Korean and English throughout. Yi's delivery often reflects the sarcasm of O'Neill's observations, as well as the complicated emotions of wanting to find answers despite the personal costs.
