"When I read Bracha Stock's delightful diary and afterthoughts, the prose had a poetic ring to it: distilled memories written by a native Israeli, married to an American, who writes in English in a voice that is uniquely hers. At the heart of this enchanting and provocative read, there are two absorbing themes-the joys and fears involved in raising an adopted child, coupled with the experience of rearing one who is bi-lingual from the earliest age-at home in two languages. Within this structure there are other nuggets of interest-ranging from insights into the parenting process in general to glimpses of life as lived in the sixties in Tel Aviv in Israel and New York. Over and above all, every word resonates with heartwarming truth. This is definitely a book to be enjoyed and savored and not just by adoptive parents."
