Totally Absorbing, Not Easily Forgotten,
This review is from: Hard to Place: One Family's Journey through Adoption (Paperback)
I just finished "Hard to Place" this morning after stealing precious moments this weekend to read it. It was riveting and really affected me in terms of realizing the personal strength, faith and charity the author and her family exhibited in the face of tremendous challenges raising a blended family. Imagine adding two small brothers to a family that already had three children! I loved the descriptions of how nature helped heal hard times, and the role of music in connecting the "hard to place" adopted brothers with their siblings living in two very different worlds. The book is poetic, bold, and sometimes shocking-- it would make a fantastic movie! This is a MUST-Read, not only for those having experience with adoption, but for anyone who's part of a loving family that through courage, loyalty and good will, triumphs over adversity.

I couldn't put it down!,
This review is from: Hard to Place: One Family's Journey through Adoption (Paperback)
I couldn't recommend this book more! While the adoption of the author's two youngest children is the catalyst for this book (and is an unbelievably compelling story in its own right), the real message is one of an extremely close-knit family supporting and loving one another through the trials and tribulations of life. Many families would have crumbled under just one of the challenges this family faced, but instead the Goldsteins triumphed and became even closer as they overcame each crisis - thanks largely to the strength of the author and family matriarch. Extremely well written, it makes you feel as if you are a part of the clan. Don't start it unless you have time to finish the whole book - I read it cover to cover in one sitting!

Hard to Place,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Hard to Place: One Family's Journey through Adoption (Paperback)
Hard to place is a great true story.Any one who is curious about adoption should read this book. The trials and joys of adoption are presented with great insight and great compassion. The author is truly a hero. She dedicates herself to her family and describes in great detail the heartaches, frustration and the joy associated with melding a natural family with an adopted family. Very good account of the process and the reults of this melding. The author is a hero for her bravery and dedication to helping children.
