Description

Anna Jinja's debut novel, Adopting Grace, follows the journey of Grace, a 39-year-old Korean-American woman who was adopted as an infant from South Korea by a Norwegian family in Iowa. As Grace grapples with her husband's affair with his high school sweetheart, her therapist suggests exploring deep-rooted issues tied to her adoption. Grace, however, believes her stress stems from juggling the demands of raising two daughters, running a small business, designing a bridal gown for a challenging client, and managing complex relationships within her family. This poignant story delves into Grace's struggles as a wife, mother, and adoptee, exploring what it truly means to be part of a family.

This to me was truly a story of finding yourself through heartbreak. It presents a person trying to find herself and her role in life, love, and friendships, without taking into consideration what she wants, but rather what she expects others want. The book made me recognise that setting boundaries is important, but finding yourself is even more important, and you should not feel ashamed of being your true self. I really want others to read this and experience a sad, but honest look in the life of a woman absolutely going through it all. Thank you for this story.

I gravitate towards books about adoption. I've even written about the subject. This was a remarkable story and told in such a way that I became invested and pulled into it from the first few pages. I enjoyed Jinja's writing style. I applaud her bravery and authentic storytelling. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.
