What do you do when you become an adopted parent’s caregiver and there might be unresolved issues related to your childhood and adoption? Sarah MeeRan Cave, 33, a Korean adoptee and an accomplished violinist, composer, and teacher, talks about caring for an aging parent, her relationship with the violin and teachers along the way, and what it’s all ultimately taught her about her own path to healing.
