Misleading and Disappointing

The title of this book is what first drew me in. I had finished reading a children’s book written by the same author and was intrigued to read about her adoption story. I thought this book was her story of how she adopted and became a mother. I did not realize this book is nothing more than a series of person after person and family after family explaining their adoption stories. Well some of them are interesting a lot of the narrators have a sadness to their voice so much so that I keep anticipating of the story is going to end badly. Some of them go on and on and on for upwards of 40 minutes or even longer.This book was not it all what I expected. It’s not that entertaining although it is slightly informative. Read with caution.
