Book Reviews of Growing Girls: The Mother of All Adventures
Book Review: Entitled, angry author
Summary: 1 Stars
I'm shocked that a publisher would publish this book. The way the author writes about the Chinese is horrifying--calling them monsters, accusing them of terrible things. The reason for her anger is unclear--it seems she blames the entire Chinese population for the fact that her little girls are available for adoption.
Laskas' second daughter is a bit quiet and withdrawn at first--and Laskas seems to consider rejecting the child! And yet she dares to criticize the girl's birthmother! Unbelievable.
This book is the work of a very angry, entitled person. I wouldn't recommend it.
