The theme of adoption and the crusade to find one's 'birth' parents is a topic of burning interest today and this novel lays bare all the anguish and insecurity adoptees can feel however much love and protection their adoptive parents give them, depicting with fairness and penetration the dangerous call of the unknown despite the real possibility of terrible upheavals for all concerned. Most worthwhile.
