Far From The Tree

"This book made me cry three times in the first 30 pages without once making me feel manipulated – that’s how immediately Robin Benway is able to make the characters matter, and how affectingly she depicts their emotional circumstances. Reading this story about three half-siblings separated by adoption who find one another in their teens – and how that reunion affects their families – my tissue count got perilously high. So did the number of friends I really needed to buy a copy for. If you’ve even once wept at NBC’s This Is Us, you particularly owe it to yourself to pick this one up."
