For those of us of "a certain age" this book is an emotional roller coaster.we all knew someone who was sent away and returned a few months later being told to forget about the baby. they had no choice,they were told what to do.that was give up the baby for adoption and never speak of it again.
for those of us younger,this book will describe and appall you. you only know the life choices available today.
i believe this book would have been better served if the editor had used their red pen more as it became a little repatative near the end.
