"An emotion-filled collection." - Kirkus Reviews "Nicole and Shannon have done something incredible here: brought together a group of incredibly talented writers to speak to an experience we so rarely see reflected in young adult literature. This anthology is as engaging as it is healing--a must-have for every classroom." - Leah Johnson, bestselling author of You Should See Me In a Crown "The rabid reader of YA may already know what more casual fans will discover rather quickly: an impressive amount of established and emerging (but all justifiably celebrated) authors are adoptees, including editors and contributors Shannon Gibney and Nicole Chung. The quality of each entry remains high, and the divergent approaches to this task dismantle many assumptions about adoptive processes, well-intentioned white moms, transracial adoptee identity, and family. What's left is simply spectacular storytelling grounded in lived experiences of loss and love, on long road trips to SoCal snow, elevated to space colonies, illustrated as graphic novels, guided by prophecy, and supportive of those who needs to see these stories in print the most." - Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books.
