Family Family
by Laurie Frankel
Family Family by Laurie Frankel touched my heart. Being a part of a family in which adoption is a central component, I was interested in the way in which the author would approach the topic. Frankel clearly wanted her audience to see adoption as a way in which families are born-not a last choice, not a painful decision, not regretful- just another way in which a family comes to be.
The characters are well defined and real. India is a force: opinionated, focused, funny, thoughtful, with a kindness and compassion beyond her years. The members of her family are also well articulated and their thoughts about adoption and family stretch and grow as the story unfolds.
I appreciate the way in which Frankel presents her opinions about families created and defined by adoption as well as the ways in which our society tends to present adoption and contrasts the two. This was an engaging and illuminating read.
