Book Review

I just finished an amazing book and I had to blog about it. My neighbor loaned it to me. The book is called With or Without You and it is written by Deborah J. Wolf, it is her first book. The story is mainly about a mother and her relationship with her two daughters, one is 15 and the other I think is 12. One of the daughters gets pregnant and decides to place the baby for adoption. I think I would have enjoyed this book even if there was no adoption theme but because there was and it hit so close to home I enjoyed it much more. The characters take on a life of their own and I just loved the writing style. I shed some tears and some smiles. If you want a heartwarming easy read for the summer I recomend it. For those of you who have been touched by adoption I think you will enjoy it even more and pleased with the way the adoption was portrayed. The author has two adopted children and it says in the chat with the author that the adoption story isn't related to either of her childrens adoptions. I am off to search the net to see if i can find a myspace or facebook or blog for the author and leave a comment.......
