Paul Lima’s Reviews > The Lost Child of Philomena Lee: A Mother, Her Son and A Fifty-Year Search > Status Update

I believe this book is creative non-fiction in that the dialogue has to be made up based on what the author has found out and surmised about 'the lost child.' The movie, Philomena, looks at the quest that Philomenia and a former journalist, Martin Sixsmith, go on to find her son -- a son the Irish Catholic church sold to an American couple. The son is one of thousands of children of unwed mothers the church sold.
