Grace (ch 1) (view spoiler)[ Wow. I didn't realize how hard this was going to hit me right off the bat. The emotions of being pregnant and then going through birth to give up Peach shook me. And then the bomb dripped about wanting to look for her birth parents. holy moly! (hide spoiler)]

[Deanna]

ch 2 (Maya) (view spoiler)[ I can relate a little to singe of Maya's thoughts having been adopted at birth myself. Robyn did a great job with describing all of this (hide spoiler)]

Ch 6 Juaq(view spoiler)[ I feel sad for him. he doesn't think he's worth it. His break up really shows that. (hide spoiler)]

[Deanna]

ch 7 (grace) (view spoiler)[Adam sucks and Max is just as bad for not sticking up for her. I hate them. (hide spoiler)]

[Deanna]

ch 10 (grace) (view spoiler)[I love Rafe. I'm so happy Grace is making new friends. but that letter to her shattered me. I can't imagine the pain. (hide spoiler)]

[Deanna]

Finished (view spoiler)[This is my favorite book written about adoptees ever. The emotions were spot on. I identified with Maya the most because our situations had the most similarities, but Grace's story broke me. So did Joaquin's. Man, this was a good one! (hide spoiler)]
