The author writes a beautifully descriptive fictional story based on true experiences from her own life. She herself was adopted and now has two adopted children of her own. This book was meant to be an inspiration, to help and encourage adopted children. To not only point out the joy of adoption, but to also encourage parents in their hopes and dreams and to soften parents' hearts towards considering adoption. Also see Mom, What Does Adopted Mean?
