From the Inside Flap

This is the story of a boy named Ben. When he is just a baby, Ben is adopted by a kind family and raised in an all-American small town. His two siblings, Jonathan and Brianna, are much older. Ben grows up a lonely boy with few friends. When Ben is twelve years old, he learns about his adoption. Over a span of two years, Ben slowly gets to know his birth mother. He comes to understand the significance of his adoption. He learns that his mother was once a very troubled young girl who became a parent when she wasn’t ready. Through love and sacrifice, she found the courage to give her son a better life. This is the story of a boy named Ben and the people who love him.

This review is from: Ben: A Novella from the Heart (Paperback)

This story really moved me. There are not too many books out there about adoption and the struggles families have to go through to give a happy home to a child in need. I only wish there were more books like this one that depict the reality of adoption in America with a style that is honest and dignified.
