Find a Stranger, Say Goodbye

Find and Stranger, Say Goodbye--Lois Lowry

Summary--Natalie Armstrong, an attractive, happy teenager about to enter college, sets out to discover the parents who gave her up at infancy.

Con's--though there is an immoral relationship in this story it is dealt with pretty carefully. However  I was upset to find many other entirely needless off color comments and conversations. There was also a bit of language.

Pro's--I am not adopted but if I were think I would be just like Natalie. I could identify with her struggles, her desire to find her mother/parents and her reaction when she did. The story is very realistic and I was drawn in immediately.

This book is a toss up for me. I wouldn't exactly recommend it due to much of the content but the story line was wonderful...I can only inform a potential reader of the pro's and con's and let them decided for themself.

Ages 16 and up. 3 out of 5 stars.
