review 1: This book had a pretty high rating but was far from one of my favorites. An unwed mother gave her infant son up for adotion in the 1960's and they were reunited when he was 26. A story of sadness, guilt and anger. Two strangers coming together can really cause havoc to both them and the people around them. If a person considering placing a baby up for adoption read this book beforehand, I'm not sure that they could go through with it. What I was expecting to be a beautiful, heart-warming story was ugly and heart-breaking.
review 2: This is a good book to read if you are interested in learning about reuniting with a birthparent or birthchild. It is a stark reminder that reuniting may or may not be worth it. All the years of dreaming might not measure up to reali... morety. It is only one person's perspective and there are many perspectives out there. It was an interesting process, this author's later years in life. I am glad I read this book... This sounds like a 4th grade book report... less
