jjoannacanread's review against another edition
5.0
I don’t remember when I got this book, but I guess I’ve had it since before I could remember. Sometimes I look back at it, read it by myself late at night. It gives me a warm feeling. It’s no ones biography but a bit of truth of every adopted child (from China mainly) lies within that book.
I have never felt lucky for being adopted, will never be grateful for it. It was never my choice but I can still love myself and people around me. This book contains a very, very short story of a land I never grew up in. And that’s okay.
It has always been clear that I have a history not like everyone else but I have always embraced it. I think this book helped me understand some why’s and some ifs as a child.
I am just me and I like being that way.
I don’t know if anyone will read this, if you also are adopted or not but either way I hope you feel okay with yourself :)
