Book Description:
Asher Stone grew up in an idyllic California family. His mother Linda made sure of that. She never wanted her son to feel different from other kids, just because he was adopted. She was a loving, devoted mother, and Asher a happy, healthy boy. So when a life-changin accident causes Asher to question his identity, he suddenly announces that he needs to learn about his roots, Linda is caught off guard. Asher doesn’t want to hurt his mother, but something inside him is driving him to find out exactly where he came from. And so he takes off on a journey to Colombia in search of his birth mother.
How can Asher, a young man who has never known hardship understand her decision? Can they have any kind of relationship–and where does that leave Linda if they do?

This sounds like an interesting story. My nephew was placed for adoption in the sixties. I know it was a difficult choice for my sister to make but it was the choice one made at that time if single.

Well this sounds like a heart breaking story for sure. My favorite! I hadn’t heard of it before so thank you for bringing it to my attention and for the chance to win a copy 🙂
I really enjoy books about adoption.
This is always a tough decision that adoptees have to face. On the one hand they have a loving family who has raised them, but there’s always that question of who they really are and what is their birth mom like. I would love to read this.
