this is such a moving narrative about transracial adoption, about the loss of culture, the loss of one’s roots, of how these losses leave you unmoored, and that disconnection eats away at the very core of who you are. it’s about the seeking of reconnection, how we can put pieces back together, how we can use understanding and care of each other to subdue the restlessness 

there is such compassion in these pages, such heartbreaking and heartwarming moments
