(More customer reviews)Trevor's book leads us down the path less travelled; the path where life's dreams collide with cultural identities, shakable family values, childhood tragedy, and the loss of self that can only come from raw grief. Here is a story of strength that is renewed by letting go of what's safe, daring to fall into deep pain, then starting all over by holding onto the ribbons of love that connect all families. This thought provoking memoir should be read, shared, and savored for the feelings it evokes, the hope that it brings, and the courage that it imparts.

In 1987, Terra Trevor and her husband Gary adopted a ten-year-old daughter from South Korea. Her new daughter experienced difficulty adjusting to becoming the oldest child in a mixed blood American Indian family. Her birth daughter, usurped from oldest to middle child, had a difficult transition too. Then her son, also adopted from Korea, was diagnosed with a brain tumor, an event that changed all of their lives forever. This is the story of a remarkable family facing incredible challenges. It is a story of compromises and insights, profound joy, deep suffering, and terrific rewards. Parenting birth and adopted children is one theme of this book. Most of all, it is a story on the meaning of family, and learning to let go of expectations and to forge a new identity.
