From the first paragraph we are drawn into the mind and world of a
trusting young child. Polly was adopted by a couple who already had
a child of their own. We watch as her confidence and self-esteem
are eroded by an increasingly abusive childhood. As she moves into
teenage years and adulthood, Polly does not judge her adoptive
parents but conveys her sheer desperation to prove somehow that she
is loveable. We follow Polly's search for her birth mother, whom
she eventually meets in the USA. She longs for a fairytale ending.
But real life isn't quite like that... This heartfelt book about a
relationship with two mothers is written in the present tense which
gives it an immediacy and makes for a compelling read. "I was
emotionally drained reading Polly's story. I was there with her
every step. It's cruel that anyone would treat a human being in
this way, especially a child. It's a miracle that she did survive."
Helen Robinson, former Chief Executive, Lincoln MIND This book and
its two related books, "A Mind To Be Free" and "Crossing The
Borderline" are available as a single-volume trilogy under the
title, "Letting Go," at a lower price than buying all three
individually.
