| 520 | |a Tucker is grateful for many aspects of her life, but being a Black woman adopted into a white family involved layers of rejection, loss, and complexity that cannot be summed up easily. She now serves as a mentor to other transracially adopted children. In this book she centers the experiences of adoptees to share deeply personal stories, well-researched history, and engrossing anecdotes from her mentorship sessions with adopted youth. These perspectives challenge the fairy-tale narrative of adoption, giving way to a fuller story that explores the impacts of racism, classism, family, love, and belonging. - adapted from jacket and publisher info | ||
