This prose is brave, razor sharp and confrontational, I think it’s best read slowly or multiple times in order to really take in the range of living, wanting, grieving, and finding laid bare in American Bastard.

This lyrical memoir is evocative and impactful. Though I've heard about some adoptees' experiences through anecdotes and media, Beatty's words were evocative. She made the gravity of her losses clear, as well as the human need to know where we come from to help us understand who we are and who we are not.
