Trade Review"In this honest and thoughtful memoir, Susanne Antonetta examines not only her own adoption journey but also family, home, and parenting. At once personal and universal, Antonetta ultimately shows us that no matter how we make a family, ‘each love has its own body of water.’" -- Ann Hood, author of The Obituary Writer
"Reflecting on her troubled childhood, aging parents, and Korean-born son’s complex sense of his own origins, Antonetta wrestles with the vexing conundrum of human connection. Call it adoption, call it something else. This book ‘gives a shape to what love is.’" -- Ralph James Savarese, author of Reasonable People: A Memoir of Autism and Adoption
"An award-winning memoirist’s moving account of how adopting a South Korean baby taught her about motherhood and love." -- Kirkus Reviews
