This book is extraordinary
The mothers resonated with me because my mother was adopted and we grew up in Brunswick. Many of the things mentioned in the book the names of the places the suburbs the lifestyle are part of my family history as well and it was almost like Rod had written this book as a personal family history for us. I highly recommend it to anyone who has a family member that has adoption as part of their past. It gives you a deeper understanding of someone who was either abandoned or had to give up a child. Thank you Rod
