"The Girls Who Went Away"

Ever get frustrated about the slow progress in adoption reform? Do you think that there is nothing that you can do? You would be wrong.

A few weeks ago, I donated two books to my local library. I left a card with my phone number in case they decided they did not want to put them into circulation. I wanted the books back if they did not intend to include them in their collection.

Today, I stopped by the library and checked on the computer for "The Girls Who Went Away." The last time I had checked it was not listed. This time the book popped up and it said that it was in the library.

"The Girls Who Went Away" by Ann Fessler was one of the two books I recently donated to the library. And yes, it felt fantastic to know that my local library now has a copy!

P.S. Not my best photo ever , but Ann Fessler photographs well, don't you think? Plus, she is terrific person and her book has made a wonderful contribution towards getting our voices heard!
