- I had the honor of reading Jan’s book before it went to publication and found myself relating to so many of Jan’s feelings about being adopted. As a fellow adoptee, raised as an only child, there was so much in her book that I could relate to. Jan expressed emotions that I felt, but hadn’t really processed yet. I recommend this book for anyone wanting a deeper insight into the adoption triad.
- Jan and I were friends in High School and spent a great deal of time together. She was my Little Sister in a HS Society. I knew she was adopted but , I had no idea that she was inwardly in so much pain. I read her book and found it to be a heartfelt account of her life and emotions. It is a book you don’t want to put down! I was not adopted but, I related to so many of the things she talked about and felt regarding her parents. My parents traveled and I was left home with housekeepers raising me. I felt many of the same issues of abandonment. So, for those of you that think that this book is only for adopted children…it is not! We all are like a picture puzzle…giving away knowingly or unknowingly pieces of ourselves along the way. Jan had the courage to reclaim those pieces and put together that puzzle.. A picture of her AUTHENTIC self!
- This was an easy read, and it gave me insight into Jan’s life and what she was thinking. I could easily see it as a great Lifetime TV movie,as it lends itself to film adaptation. It is insightful, a look into the mind of someone who was adopted, and her search to deal with this fact and find a family she didn’t know she had!
