After enjoying Broken Country, this novel popped by since it's by the same author. I hoped I'd love it as much as Broken County. And while it has some similarities, the story isn't as compelling. This one is also pretty depressing and deals with loss and overwhelming sadness. But this one is about adoption and how it influences the lives of the adopted child (now an adult), the birth mother, and the adopting mother.
There's a mystery element as the story bounces between the present and the past. Finding out how it was all going to come together is what kept me going. It did become a bit repetitive and slow at times, but it was worth the read. - June
