What people are saying about Adopted Reality, A Memoir
With raw honesty and thoughtful reflection, Laura Dennis crafts a stunning psychological thriller in her true-life memoir, Adopted Reality. She weaves in three major life events–adoption, reunion with her birth mother and a bipolar episode following the 9/11 terror attacks where her beloved Uncle Tom died in the Twin Towers and she believes she was responsible for his death. I was hooked from the first sentence, “I’ve successfully infiltrated the Illuminati’s West Coast Cell.”
- Kathy Pooler, A Memoir Writer’s Journey
Author Laura Dennis’ memoir Adopted Reality tells the story of how expectations of personal perfection inevitably lead to sorrow and failure. It’s a universal story of our flawed humanness. … Anyone who is adopted, a dancer or bipolar and anyone who knows and loves such a person will appreciate “Adopted Reality: A Memoir” for its honesty, drama and ultimately the peace Dennis finds with her adopted reality. – Monica Lee, The Percussionist’s Wife
The author adds a sense of ongoing drama by often ending chapters with a single, searing line that hints at what’s to come: “And then, whether or not I truly am, convince a judge that I’m sane.” – Kirkus Reviews
