| What an incredible exploration of the personal and the political through the lens of adoption. This is a triumph of weaving Tracy's mother's history, that becomes her own, into racial, gendered, and class dynamics of the 60s and 70s that led to so ma ...more | |

“You know what’s really, powerfully sexy? A sense of humor. A taste for adventure. A healthy glow. Hips to grab on to. Openness. Confidence. Humility. Appetite. Intuition. … Smart-ass comebacks. Presence. A quick wit. Dirty jokes told by an innocent-looking lady. … A storyteller. A genius. A doctor. A new mother. A woman who realizes how beautiful she is.”

“We are a generation of young women who were told we could do anything and instead heard that we had to be everything.”

“Liberating ourselves from the traditional strictures of marriage altogether, and/or transforming those strictures to include all of us -- gay, feminist, career-focused, baby crazy, monogamous, non-monogamous, skeptical, romantic, and everyone in between -- is the challenge facing this generation.
