People Weekly Magazine,
This review is from: Sacred Connections Stories of Adoption: Birth Parents, Adoptive Parents and Adoptees (Paperback)
The first time Mary Ann Koenig asked about her birth parents, "I saw a look on my adoptive mother's face that I had never seen before," writes Koenig. "Maybe fear, maybe hurt. The story of how I came into the world was a dangerous topic."
Today's parents are more willing to bring adoption into the open, a trend Koenig supports with moving essays culled from interviews with adoptees and birth and adoptive parents, compellingly illustrated with Berg's portaits. Meet Jim Rockwell, who at 60 felt a need to "lay eyes on one living sole whose flesh I am." (He found seven siblings.) And artist Kathryn Shelley, whose says trying to imagine her birth mother was like "grabbing smoke - there was nothing to hold onto." Koenig though offers plenty. (Peter Wolf Press, $29.95) Bottom line: Thought provoking look at family ties.
