I just started reading Ann Patchett's Run. It's about a white family who adopts two African-American boys after having one biological son. I am hooked, but I'm only on page 80 or so. Thus far, it's about the unplanned reunion with the boys' birthmother when they are 20 and 21 years old.
Have you read it? What do you think?

I wonder if Ann Patchett has some adoption stuff in her own life because she also wrote The Patron Saint of Lies, which takes place in a home for unwed mothers.
I felt frustrated/disappointed by the book but now I can't remember why. Maybe I need more coffee. But thank you for the reminder that I meant to try to find out what's going on with her and the adoption stuff.
Yeah, I have it on my list too to see how she got her adoption info. Maybe she talks about it in the interview at the back of my book. I'll let you know.
I hadn't heard of it, but you've got me intrigued. Off to see if it's at our local library...
Did you read it yet, heather?
