DESCRIPTION:
Originally published in 1989, Missing Links, the true story of an adoptee's search for his birth parents, was a ground0-breaking book in the adoption world because it was the first adoption search book written and published by a male adoptee. Missing Links was Vincent Begley's first book. Prior books on adoption searches had been the domain of female adoptees.Nominated for the best adoption book by the National Adoption Congress, Missing Links has been on the recommended list of best adoption books for more than 20
The Only Thing "Missing" from this Gem Was Introspection A Customer I ordered Mr. Begley's book because I am writing a book about my own story. I was amazed at how much we had in common with our "journeys." The only thing about Mr. Begley's book that disappointed me was an overuse of cliches and simplistic dramatic devices. It wouldn't have been so bad if I didn't. Good book - thanks, Uncle Vincent Kathleen Smith I have to admit to some bias about the story as one of my relatives is the author. However, as it is a relative that I never met as a child it gave me a huge sense of connection to a story about another such connection, of family relations affected by blood and love and chance and life.
