“At a time when the imposed mix of cultures across the globe raises extraordinary conflicts and so many in the USA try to resist the health and wisdom of this new society, an American couple succeeds in forming a cross-cultural family through marriage and adoptions. A must read to find meaning, hope and joy about a theme considered threatening for too many. It is serious, funny, a mind- and heart-opening experience.” -Ghislain Labonte, Author of Love in the Present
