Summary: A birthmother's point of view
Review: I received this book as a gift from my aunt. I thought my family had resolved to forget that my rape and subsequent pregnancy and adoption of my daughter had ever happened. This book allowed me to realize that they had not forgotten. It allowed me to get inside of the mind of someone else who had been through the same thing I had gone through. It allowed me to realize I was not alone.

I have gone through a lot of healing since my rape, but this was the first time I could actually point to someone else and say "See? She's just like me, and she's not a bad person either." It also helped me to realize a lot of my feelings towards God and resolve some of them. Thank you Lee for writing this book. God bless you and your families. May I someday have as joyous a reunion as you had with Julie.

Summary: The Missing Piece
Review: This book is certainly one that would be lauded by the pro-life and pro-adoption community. However, after carefully reading the book, I believe that many (if not most) rape victims suffering the consequences of rape-induced pregnancy, would not be able to identify with the reactions and philosophy that Ezell writes about.
