When We Become Ours: A YA Adoptee Anthology

Two teens take the stage and find their voice. . .

A girl learns about her heritage and begins to find her community. . .

A sister is haunted by the ghosts of loved ones lost. . .

These tales from fifteen bestselling, acclaimed, and emerging adoptee authors genuinely and authentically reflect the complexity, breadth, and depth of adoptee experiences.
