I bought this book off of a different site and love it. My son is adopted and does not talk much about his past. When I bought this book I was doing it to support the young author and have another diverse adoption tale in our library. Mariah shares her journey and her story with her heart on her sleeve. Written from the perspective of the adoptee you will follow her story as she goes through much heartbreak and triumphs over obstacles in her path. After we read the story my son was able to open up for the first time in years about his adoption and how he felt. This book has a special place on our shelf and in my heart. A great read and I hope Mariah plans on writing more.
