Very interesting book. Secrets and surprises. Having worked in the Scottish Children’s Panel, I found the subject matter very insightful. I also thought the history of adoption was very detailed and brought to light deficiencies in the system, but also positive outcomes for many.

Was surprised to find that the book was more a history of adoption rather than Sue's biography. I like social history but not sure if I would have choose that topic.
