dark emotional sad tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Plot
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

I think this is not for me to rate because some of the themes and situations are very personal, and I don't have the experience in those positions.  I personally enjoyed reading it, but I think birthmother and adoptee voices should be amplified in the rating of it.

Moderate: Infertility and Abortion

This story deals heavily with forced adoption and the first parent/birth parent experience. Tread carefully if any of this subject matter might upset you.
