When I read a novel by Ann Hood I like to make sure there is a box of Kleenex nearby. Maya is the owner of the Red Thread Adoption Agency. In an attempt to escape the emotional pain from the loss of her child, she dedicates her life to uniting Chinese baby girls with adoptive parents in the U.S..
The book moves back and forth between the adoption process for five couples and the story of how the five babies became available for adoption (and that would be where it got a bit weepy for me!) I have only adopted animals, but I think she has probably done a good job of describing the pain and emotional upheavals that adoptive parents might go through. I would recommend this book.
