{"product_id":"family-family-a-novel-1","title":"Family Family: A Novel","description":"“Not all stories of adoption are stories of pain and regret. Not even most of them. Why don’t we ever get that movie?”\n\nIndia Allwood grew up wanting to be an actor. Armed with a stack of index cards (for research\/line memorization\/make-shift confetti), she goes from awkward sixteen-year-old to Broadway ingenue to TV superhero.\n\nHer new movie is a prestige picture about adoption, but its spin is the same old tired story of tragedy. India is an adoptive mom in real life though. She wants everyone to know there’s more to her family than pain and regret. So she does something you should never do ― she tells a journalist the truth: it’s a bad movie.\n\nSoon she’s at the center of a media storm, battling accusations from the press and the paparazzi, from protesters on the right and advocates on the left. Her twin ten-year-olds know they need help – and who better to call than family? But that’s where it gets really messy because India’s not just an adoptive mother…\n\nThe one thing she knows for sure is what makes a family isn’t blood. And it isn’t love. No matter how they’re formed, the truth about family is this: it's complicated.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1250236800\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1250236800.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Frankel, Laurie\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
