O'Dell"s book Mothering Mother . She was adopted at the age of four to southern, fundamentalist parents in their mid-fifties. I read the book excerpt at the website and I loved it.

It might even make you cringe. In the end it will give you some real perspective about your life and those you love. It will make you think and make you feel.
