"A nail-biting adoption saga with a happy ending." People Magazine.
"On
one level, this is a woman's story of going to Russia to adopt a little
boy and experiencing the wrenching, exuberant passions of falling in
love with a child. On another level, it's every mother's story - our
doubts and our fears about what kind of mother we will make. The
writing is compelling, and straight from the heart." Adair Lara, SF Chronicle columnist and author of Hold Me Close, Let Me Go.
