The author's heartfelt account of her relationship with her adoptive father, Dr. Harold Carr Davis, is nothing short of extraordinary. It's a testament to the transformative power of unconditional love and the profound impact a single person can have on a child's life.
What struck me most was the palpable authenticity of Linda's storytelling. She doesn't shy away from the challenges they faced, the moments of doubt and uncertainty, but she presents them with a gentle honesty that makes the triumphs all the more meaningful. Reading about the blossoming of their bond, the shared laughter, and the quiet moments of connection, felt deeply intimate.
