This book deals with issues of adoption. It was a great book. As an adopted child myself as well as a parent of an adopted child I liked it. It was refreshing

This is one of Belva Plains earlier books copyright 1989, fans of her works might enjoy this. It was written after Tapestry.
The movie Blessings was based upon this novel. Belva Plain is one of my favorite authors, and she writes an interesting story from the heart. Good relationships are shown, not just described.

I always enjoy Belva Plain
Another great read by Belva Plain! I really enjoyed this one!
Blessings is a story that evokes the rich diversity of American's Jewish experience and creates characters so real, so authentically human, that their tears-and their triumphs- become our own.
Belva Plain is always a great read.
