This is a wonderful audio book. Ms. Holmes writes with lots of compassion about her experiences as an adopted child. Her birth mother sought her out, and what happened once she learned about who her birth parents were. She writes with warmth and compassion about both her adoptive relatives and her birth parents. This is a very good book for anyone who has interest in adopting or who knows someone who was adopted. I hope someone gets to enjoy it as much as I did.

I love the narration of Jane Adams and I was originally drawn to this story because it is autobiographical. I enjoyed this story of human nature and self reflection. After you listen, you feel as if you have a personal friendship with A.M. Holmes.

Because this is an autobiography, one cannot expect the same fast-paced, tightly-wound spring of a story line as one might get from a murder mystery. The book was well-written but seemed to sag a bit in the middle.
