A great review that highlights the depth and honesty of Finding Closure by Rosie Norman-Neubauer, capturing a journey of identity and reconnecting with biological roots. The description of the book as "emotively told yet grounded" reflects a powerful personal story that resonates with anyone who has experienced adoption or is in search of their identity. It’s refreshing that the book approaches this sensitive subject without excessive idealism, allowing readers to encounter the complex, mixed emotions of joy and pain together. Additionally, the precise editing enhances readability, making this a rich and impactful experience.

Is where we came from relevant to our future? Do we need to know our past to understand who we are? Finding Closure follows Rosie as she embarks on a journey of self-discovery, questions her identity and reunites with her birth family. This is a must read, I have no doubt about it.

I really enjoyed the review and the thought of waiting for 55 years to find out your lineage is a long time. I can only imagine the turmoil and will definitely be adding this book to me reading list.

It must be traumatic to realise you're different from the rest of your family and then discover you've been adopted. Discovering ones roots and common traits, looks and outlooks can be a relief, but also disappointing. Thank you for your informative.

It must be difficult being raised by foster parents. Well, I definitely agree it is important to discover oneself and true origin.
This book is a useful memoir on self discovery.
