The Adoption by Zidrou

5.0

Gabriel was an absent father, working long days in his butcher shop to provide for his family. When his son and daughter-in-law adopt a young girl from Peru, Gabriel isn’t sure how to act or how to be a grandfather. As she melts his heart, a twist complicates Gabriel’s life.

Heartwarming, sweet story that, on the turn of a page, hits you in the gut, stabs you in the heart, twists the knife a bit, and leads you back around to a bit of sweet. An emotional roller coaster that I was not expecting – with artwork that conveys so much emotion.

Note: I am glad I went back and looked at the final eight pages of the story as I got a bit more out of this second pass and it brought me a bit more emotional peace.
