THE RED THREAD (ANN HOOD)

The Red Thread contained a lot of characters which sometimes can become confusing but it was so well laid out that the characters were easy to keep separated in your mind. The story is about several families who want to adopt Chinese babies with the help of 'The Red Thread Adoption Agency'. There were so many heart-tugging moments and Ms. Hood included parts of her own life. Unfortunately, she lost her own five-year-old daughter, Grace. All of the couples involved were unable to conceive except one. She previously had a biological child born with Fragile X syndrome and didn't want to chance birthing a second child with Fragile X. The deep desire in these couples hearts is a thread that connects to many people. It was an awesome read! March 27, 2011
