I think it is a great book about the consequences of the illegitimate adoption of babies. We read the book as a retelling of Anthony’s life from his birth up until the end. I encourage people to read it and understand the consequences that these kids experience due to the abandonment. On the other side,I was hoping to learn more about Philomena’s story and her own struggles, not so much about American politics. Overall, would recommend it and re-read it!
