Seemed a lot like misery open to me. I found a lot of things to be contrived and unrealistic. I am grateful that I read it before giving it as a gift to the person I had intended to.

3.5

A well written, emotional book that tugs at your heart strings. The only reason I'm not giving it a higher rating is because I found the story a bit cliché. I feel like any book that involves orphans, WWII and adoption follows a very predictable trajectory.
