pickI started reading this in 2023 but just finished it today. 😅 I even had a second cuppa this AM! (Very rare, I usually only have 1 in the morning, but it was so beautiful out and I wanted to nestle in with my book and coffee.) Glad I returned to the story of Taylor and Turtle who deserve all the happiness! 4/5⭐️

pickIt‘s been a while since I enjoyed a book as much as I did this one. It‘s set me off researching other books. Watching Gina Chick on Who Do You Think You are and filling in the pieces not available to Suzanne when she wrote this book 30 years ago. How much we inherit and how much is environmental and then comes the choices we make. So interesting. Loved loved loved it.
Will you ever take
the necessary steps to
fill that hole you made?

pickA novel about adoption and the connection between the adopted person and birth parents. The emotional aspects of sealed records and struggles are often overlooked in what people hope will be a kind if “new love” for the adopted person and her/his birth parents. A reporter named Jane becomes involved in helping her friend Tuck. What follows is dangerous and more than a bit difficult. 3.75/5⭐️
I #found a spine poem on my shelves:
Homebody life,
The knowing, trouble…
Kitchen table wisdom
in a special light.
Survival lessons
A tear and a smile
Man‘s search for meaning -
I‘d rather be reading

pickWhat a story🥹. What writing 😍.
Imagine if you grew up knowing you were adopted and were told a fiction about the circumstances of your birth.
In your late 40s you get hold of your original birth certificate, and read your biological mother‘s name…famous Australian writer Charmian Clift.
This book was re-released after the author‘s daughter Gina Chick wrote her memoir, We Are The Stars, a book I read and loved in 2024.
Wonderful 🥰🙏👏
so-soDriven by curiosity, she searches for her birth mother, only to discover that her mother was a serial killer's victim—and she herself is a by product of that tragedy. Her life unravels as she becomes entangled in an FBI investigation while grappling with personal turmoil. The chilling developments that unfold are full of suspense. Narrated in the second person, the chapters are written as psychological sessions, adding depth to the narrative. 🎧
