Fiction

Nature Versus Nurture? Adopted soon after birth, Joshua is a beautiful, lovable boy--but as he grows, his high-risk, self-destructive behaviors drive his adoptive mother to despair. Told through the voices of an adoptee, his desperate young birth mother, and his loving but grieving adoptive mother who never gives up hope, this novel will resonate with anyone who has been part of the adoption triangle, as well as anyone who questions what makes our children uniquely who they are.
