"Two broken families, fractured lives, prose that often reads like poetry and a deep understanding of what it feels like to be an adopted child, who experiences a complicated world beyond his control and of which he never really feels a part. This is Andrew Mossin's heartbreaking memoir, an adoption story that is raw, revealing and painful, about the presence of someone he never knew and the struggle to find his place with the parents who raised him. Although every adoptee's story and journey can widely vary, there are some constant refrains and some universal themes: Who am I? Where do I belong? Will I ever feel that I do? Without judgment or complaint, Mossin takes you on his journey, brings you into his world, and lets you experience it as he did. It is without sentimentality, but it is with an enormous amount of heart and honesty that he lays his young life bare. You feel for the child that he was and walk away wishing the story would continue so that his readers could know, after the challenges he faced as a youngster, how he prevailed and made his life the success that it is today"--
