You're absolutely right. It's so horrible to imagine having to go through something like that and to consider all the lives it has affected.

Your review was very heartfelt and makes me want to read it. The interesting thing is that there is a historical truth behind it which makes the story even more compelling. This is a definite addition to my “want to read” shelf! Thanks so much

I bet this would compliment your last reading then! Ugh, you're so right -- I cannot believe these sorts of laws have really been in existence.stacie k wrote: ↑23 May 2018, 19:24 I just finished reading a book centered around adoption. This one sounds like it would bring to light even more perspectives. The fact that it is based on truth makes it both compelling and sickening. I would like to read this book. Thank you for your well-done review!

Thank you so much! I think you're right, and the book definitely deals with that concept. Thanks for your comment!SABRADLEY wrote: ↑23 May 2018, 23:05 I love your reviews! Everything about this book screams out for me to read it. I like the idea of understanding how a single event affects so many people in such unique ways, as I feel that, in a nutshell, is how life works. I will definitely look into this book.

Thank you for sharing about your own family; I'm certain you'd relate to Sya's mother too. I found her character very moving because Sya thinks she can be harsh at times but as a reader, I really felt for her and think I'd struggle with the exact same feelings. She's trying to cope with her own emotions while trying to do what's best for Sya even if others (including Sya) don't always see that, and it's quite touching. I hope you enjoy the book when you get a chance to read it. Thank you for commenting!Kendra M Parker wrote: ↑24 May 2018, 06:54 This sounds like an amazing story and one that would touch me deeply. My own kids are adopted, and I know I could relate to Sya's mother when it comes to insecurities about their birth family. That’s even with meeting my kids' birth family! This one is definitely going into my “want to read” list. Thank you for such an insightful review.
