Overview
Is it possible to stay hopeful - and to keep a sense of humor - while your deepest desire is threatened? When you're falsely accused? When people you trust advise you to hide your heritage? Melanie Herz Promecene, who faced each of those challenges while trying to adopt a child, is walking proof that the answer is yes. In this staggeringly honest, often hilarious, always hopeful memoir, Promecene takes readers with her through the terror of 9/11 in New York, the floods of Hurricane Harvey in Houston, the winding streets of Beijing, and a beautiful day in Florence. And, of course, readers join her as she overcomes seemingly impossible obstacles of bureaucracy and biology. Her account of heartbreaking decisions, innocent misunderstandings that threaten to have devastating results, and the quirks and joy of her own large family are compelling and ultimately heartwarming. Along the way, she realizes that she and her husband aren't choosing their son: He is choosing them. You'll never look at rainbows the same way.

Reviews
I just finished and my heart is full. Beautiful, equisite and overwhelmingly emotional memoir. It's weird...part of me wants to cry, part of me feels like I have a heavy heart. But I feel a little bit of my life has changed after reading this. Dorey Kappel One cannot read this story without great emotional swings like the author. I laughed and cried with her - truly a sign of a gifted writer. I sense her story will touch the hearts of so many in need of hope and knowlege to pursue thier dreams. BJH This book is beautiful. It's like the author's heart opened up and poured itself out on the pages. Dawn Blitz
