Find a Stranger, Say Goodbye by Lois Lowry

2.0

Let me start by saying that Lois Lowry is a master of her craft, and in no way am I discounting that when I say that I didn't enjoy this particular novel as much as I wanted. Still, the story of a young woman who sets out to find her birth mother after living her entire life as an adopted child was a sweet foray into the risks that can arise when a person in a complicated situation delves into their personal history. Lowry in no way discourages her protagonist Natalie's search to make contact with her parentage, but rather presents a practical glimpse at what can happen, inviting the reader to acknowledge alongside Natalie that delicate and complicated situations must be handled gently.
