商品簡介
Mamalita is as much a story about the bond between a mother and child as it is about the lengths adoptive parents go to in their quest to bring their children home. At turns harrowing, heartbreaking, and inspiring, this is a classic story of the triumph of a mother's love over almost insurmountable odds.
"Mamalita is the story of a woman's fight to bring home her Guatemalan-born daughter, in the face of huge obstacles. But Jessica O'Dwyer has written more than an adoption story. Her book explores the nature of parenthood---the fierce love and loyalty that makes it possible for us to do more than we ever knew we were capable of. It's a terrific adventure story with an unlikely heroine who discovers that she is stronger and braver than she ever knew. I was rooting for her all the way through to the book's gripping and deeply moving ending."---Joyce Maynard, author of Labor Day, At Home in the World, To Die For
"As an adoptive mother to two teens born in Latin America, I couldn't put Mamalita down. This honest and balanced memoir reveals the challenges and rewards of international adoption like no other book I've ever read. I recommend it to anyone involved in adoption, and for those who wonder what it feels like to be part of that experience."---Leceta Chisholm Guibault, former board member of the Adoption Council of Canada, staff member of the TIES Program (Adoptive Families Homeland Journeys), and recipient of an Adoption Advocate Award
