ehahnmd 's review for:
Family Family
by Laurie Frankel
I really enjoyed this book and also acknowledge that some of the depictions of adoption are problematic and centered on a privileged white birth mother making choices based in generosity, which we know isn’t the typical story. Selling this book as a representation matters take is not so honest. The author is an adoptive parent. This is the narrative adoptive parents hope for. Everyone is thankful and better off. No one is harmed. There is no trauma. So I’m holding both, somehow. Because as a totally unrealistic fairy tale, this book was fun.
