Local Description

Staff Notes: Told in short, lyrical segments, Stranger Care is a memoir about adoption. Determined to parent a child in an ethical way, without contributing to overpopulation or environmental decline, Sarah and her husband Eric decide to foster a child in need. Stranger Care is about navigating a deeply flawed system and about profound, soaring love. It’s about kin - between humans, and trees, and birds, and animals - and all the different ways to build a family. This is a memoir with the pacing and propulsion of a novel. - Charlotte
