This book was one person’s memories of their extraordinary, emotional, & heartfelt journey through life as an adoptee & as a birth mother. Life that included her Romeo to her Juliette. And a memoir of motherhood & the personal choices she had to make with compassion, acceptance, & forgiveness for herself.
Adoption can leave an emotional & lifelong impact on adoptees & the families, both chosen & birth. It’s a choice not taken lightly or without a lot of wisdom in their soul searching.
Nature vs. nurture comes into play as well as the longing to know where someone comes from, curiosity about their origins.
I found Surrender by Marylee MacDonald very well written & emotionally charged, a book I didn’t want to put down! I will definitely recommend it to friends & most likely read again.
This review in exchange for an advanced reader’s copy.
