Sommaire:
"Chosen". "Special". That's how Starbuck described herself as an adopted child in a loving family. When her adoptive parents divorced, her dad moved east, and her mom and dad each got remarried, she told herself that she was extra loved, since she had more than two parents and people in different times zones who cared about her. But the word she really believed was "rejected." First by her birthparents. Then by her adoptive father-when he moved away. Then by her stepfather. Then by her birthfather a second time, when she tried to invite him into her life. Most of all, Margot felt rejected by God the Father, who she also suspected could not be trusted. Her search for a father to trust doesn't end until she finds a heavenly Father who never neglects to say, I'm there for you." A humorous, poignant, and theologically astute memoir.
