Hand Sewn Heart

Hand Sewn Heart, a magical mother-child love story, allows for interpretation as an adoption story, yet contains no traditional adoptive language. The book's sensitive nature and simplicity facilitates discussion and imagination as the child is growing into her own story. The core message is that the intrinsic bond between mother and child fills "the hole". The reason for the void, the journey of attainment, and any challenges faced are left aside to simply embrace fulfillment. In the story, the mother feels a void, the child fills the void. It does not matter if the child "climbed up the thread" to the mother's heart from a distant country or from her tummy; it matters only that she did.
