This gripping memoir details an ordinary American woman's quest to
adopt a baby girl from Guatemala in the face of overwhelming
adversity. At only 32 years old, Jessica O'Dwyer experiences early
menopause, seemingly ending her chances of becoming a mother. Years
later, married but childless, she comes across a photo of a
two-month-old girl on a Guatemalan adoption website , and feels an
instant connection. From the get-go, Jessica and her husband face
numerous and maddening obstacles. After a year of tireless efforts,
Jessica finds herself abandoned by her adoption agency undaunted,
she quits her job and moves to Antigua so she can bring her little
girl to live with her and wrap up the adoption, no matter what the
cost. Eventually, after months of disappointments, she finesses her
way through the thorny adoption process and is finally able to
bring her new daughter home. Mamalita is as much a story about the
bond between a mother and child as it is about the lengths adoptive
parents go to in their quest to bring their children home. At turns
harrowing, heartbreaking, and inspiring, this is a classic story of
the triumph of a mother's love over almost insurmountable odds.
