I really looked forward to reading this book and enjoyed it for 3/4 of the way, and then I got annoyed that it was too kind to its negative characters and wrapped everything up too perfectly. Then I read the Author's Note at the end and had a completely different opionion. This book was written as a response to the author's feelings and experiences revolving around adoption, so I wish I had known that from the start. True, there was one character that was overdone, perhaps, but her motives were well-intended. I would read this book again with new eyes, knowing that the author has a real stake in its content.
Have been keeping this blog since 2008! It's a place to keep track of what I've read.
