on June 20, 2011 :
Nicole Burton's book is a page turner. She captures every angle of dramatic tension between the many characters who have an emotional stake in this adoption story. Stunning is the author's ability to alternate between the intensity of her own quest and the fear/love with which her biological mother faces the reality of allowing her grown daughter into her life. In her search, the adoptee discovers love but also conflict. The author holds nothing back in her exploration of human emotions.
