Adoptive Families in a Diverse Society
A memoir and story of adoption where he aids a young woman during his college years in terms of her choices. In the end, they track down the birth father. The birth mother sounds like a cold calculating bitch. Luckily the adoptive daughter lands on her feet in an excellent marriage. What really fascinated me about this book is his memories of his college years at the University of Maryland. Fraternities and Sororities: the highest status, Dorm Dwellers in the middle and Commuters (Mewshaw and me) working on campus and getting to school by any means possible. Long walks in the rain, weariness and just feeling beaten down.
