Book Reviews of Find a Stranger, Say Goodbye (Laurel-leaf books)
Book Review: Never letting this one go...
Summary: 5 Stars
I was probably about 9 when I first read this book and I immediately loved it. I have no idea what made me decide to read it, as I had no experience with adoption and it doesn't seem like the type of thing I was reading at the time. Perhaps it was because it was by Lowry and I'd already fallen in love with some of her other books (The Giver, Number the Stars).
I was absolutely fascinated by this book. I was constantly borrowing it from the library until my parents bought me my own copy when I was in 8th grade. Honestly, I was convinced that there would be a note in the front confiding that *I* had been adopted, but no.
At that young age I would have never imagined that several years later I would be in the position to make the difficult decision of placing my own child for adoption. Funny how things work out.
Unlike the story, I am so grateful that my son will always know of his adoption and of the love his birthfather and I have for him. We've thought of him every day for the past 6 years, and we'll be here with open arms if and when he wishes to meet us.
It's been 16 years now since I first read this book and it still has a special place on my shelf and in my heart.
