Negative Positive
Title: Well-crafted and emotionally powerful
Review: Ms. O'Brien does a great job of putting us in the mind of the birth mother. The character of Hillary Birdsong is believable, likable and full of ambiguities and uncertainties that we can ID with. We follow her going through the struggle and realizations as she comes to terms with the gut-wrenching decision that defines her life.It's also a very timely and relevant story with only passing references to the political and religious implications of adoption and abortion. Ms. O'Brien also has a fine command of language and description which thoroughly enrich the story. I **highly** recommend this book as a great read.
