Philomena: A Mother, Her Son and A Fifty-Year Search by Martin Sixsmith

3.0

I watched the movie first, so I had an idea about how the book would go. I do appreciate how the book focused more on the life of Michael Hess rather than Philimena's search. I could have done without some of the descriptions of Michael Hess' sexual exploits, but it was part of him and what caused him to contract AIDS. It's such a heartbreaking story.
