Christine Hyung-Oak Lee (born 1973) is an American writer best known for her book, Tell Me Everything You Don’t Remember, a memoir about her stroke and recovery, published by Ecco Books in 2017. The book is based on her 2014 BuzzFeed essay.[1]
Lee was born in New York City, the first of two children born to Korean American immigrants. She spent most of her childhood in Southern California, and graduated from UC Berkeley, where she focused on English literature and Asian American Studies. She received her MFA from Mills College. She currently lives in Berkeley, California.
In 1999, she married her college sweetheart, and at the age of 33, she survived a left thalamic stroke on December 31, 2006, which left her with a fifteen-minute short-term memory.[2] She was married for 14 years and divorced after the birth of their child.
