MY Review!(LAWonder10)
This is an captivating, poignant story of overseas adoption by an American couple, of resillience, forgiveness, change, honor, cultural customs, and even rape.

The Birth Mother is a compelling tale is unlike most anything one will soon read.

The "roller coaster" of emotions caused by various events will, certainly, keep the reader involved in this incredible story. (This reviewer is still unable to conclude, at the end of the story, if this is based on real events or totally fiction.) The unusual writing is what was distracting and is responsible for the reason I give it a Four Stars rating instead of a Five Stars rating. 

I have not been able to determine whether the author's style was to create humor or an "other-worldly" experience, but it felt like "cold splashes of water" in one's face during an intense scene. However, the story was worth the distraction and very touching.

​Rating: Four Stars
*This book was gifted me with nor requirement for a positive review. This is my honest review.
