Polly Fielding

And This is My Adopted Daughter Polly Fielding 3º edição

Have you, or are you thinking of, adopting or fostering a 'difficult' child? This book will helps you to avoid some of the many pitfalls. Polly was adopted by a couple who already had a child of their own. We watch as her confidence and self-esteem are gradually eroded. As she moves into teenage years and adulthood, Polly does not judge her adoptive parents but powerfully conveys her desperation to prove somehow that she is loveable. And we follow Polly's search for her birth mother, who she meets in the USA. She longs for a fairytale ending. But real life isn't quite like that... This heartfelt book about a relationship with two mothers is written in the present tense which gives it an immediacy and makes it a compelling read.
