review 1: Lucky Girl is the true story of a Chinese girl who was adopted by an American couple in the 1970's. She didn't plan to search for her birth family. But a chance encounter with the nun who arranged her adoption brought about a family reunion. Hopgood tells her story of discovery and complicated family relationships. I found the book to be a interesting story that made me laugh and cry. I thought it was rather sad that her adopted brothers were unable to find out anything about their own birth families.
review 2: A really interesting memoir. A girl is adopted from China and you get to read her life story being raised in suburban America. In her twenties, she gets reunited/acquainted with her birth family. She was not the only one given up for adoption and ther... moree are dramas and complications. This is a great read, which I just happened to be reading at the same time I was reading a fictional account of a girl adopted from China, which made it even more compelling for me. less
