Well.

I got this book because it's a subject matter I've been very interested in. Something but I could relate to. My mother was adopted, my daughter is as well. Back in the time that my mother was adopted people did not tell their children they were adopted. Many never knew. My mother came to hers late but she was able to meet. My daughter has always known. What does that have to do with this book you might say? Well, a lot. I could not relate to This Woman's experience at all. I tried many times to find redeemable qualities in her and could not. It's been a long time since I dislike the character as much as this one. There were so many little things that kept creating snags for me, such as the baby not smiling until she was 6 weeks old. My babies smiled in the first few days. You know, those Smiles everybody say is just gas but a mother knows in her heart really isn't. Beyond all that, based on other books by this writer I expected a good book. It's not what I got.
