BoTM Club June Discussion: The Girls Who Went Away

Starting June 5th (due to the Memorial Day Holiday) we will start our June Discussion of the book ”The Girls Who Went Away”
by Ann Fessler.

Currently, Adoptionshop.com is offering the book at $18.99, which is $7 off of the retail suggested price! The only thing you have to do is give us a call to order, due to some technical issues! Call 1-877-236-7874 and speak our Adoption Shop team and they’d be happy to fill and ship your order out!

If you’ve already read, started to read or plan on reading the book, please join us for our book club discussion this month!

Brandy

Are these books based on adoption or do they vary in topic?.


Never mind, ...I just read the other post.

The Book of The Month Club here will focus on adoption - there are a couple of other threads here on this Forum that will tell you more about it.

If this works, we may actually create a Book of The Month Club for non-adoption related books

While waiting for my copy of the book I did some surfing of the web and found out that the author, Ann Fessler is an adoptee, and includes her story in the book

I got it!

I dragged the family to the mall (needed a break from the heat!) and I got it! Now I just need to sit down and start reading!

I haven't been able to read a book and have an adult conversation about it in AGES!
