Mostly about her journey both as a black German adopted by a white family, and as the bio-daughter of her much damaged mother. I thought she showed a fair amount of compassion given the circumstances.<br /><br />I loved her description of Tel a Viv, and being a black German in Israel learning Hebrew and doing graduate work there. Her discovering her bio history and coming out to her Israeli friends was powerful.<br /><br />I wonder, given what we're learning about epigenics, how/if her bio mom ever had a chance, and I'm impressed by the author's strength of character.Aprilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04183821631585672805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3283150494128111732.post-7249725544044319682016-05-11T22:37:13.333-06:002016-05-11T22:37:13.333-06:00So what did you think of My Grandfather...So what did you think of My Grandfather...Sue VanHattumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10237941346154683902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3283150494128111732.post-68928719380178169312016-05-08T19:01:01.551-06:002016-05-08T19:01:01.551-06:00I loved Girl on a Train!I loved Girl on a Train!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3283150494128111732.post-67312737532519982902016-05-08T19:00:48.770-06:002016-05-08T19:00:48.770-06:00I loved Girl on a Train!I loved Girl on a Train!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
