Book Club???

Years ago, I picked up the book, 20 Things Adopted Kids Wish their Parents Knew by Sherri Eldridge. I never read it. Yesterday, I was cleaning out a closet upstairs and came across it and thought I would give it a try.

I was wondering if any of you have read it and if so, what did you think? For those of you who haven't, do you want to join me in reading it? We could have our own little virtual book club going on. I thought it might be helpful to read it together and bounce ideas and thoughts off of each other.

The book sells at Amazon for around $10. You can order it here.

Leave me a comment or send me an email and let me know what you think.
