Upcoming talks about "A Love Like No Other"

I'm delighted to report that A Love Like No Other, the anthology that I co-edited with fellow journalist Jill Smolowe, is coming out in paperback this month (Penguin/Riverhead). When it was released in hardcover last year, the book was praised as "complex, compelling, and compulsively readable" (Elle), "gripping," (People), "a must read" (Boston Globe), and "one of the most thoughtful books on adoption to come along in years." (Christian Science Monitor) So I hope that people who haven't read it in hardcover will pick up a copy now!

In the meantime, Jill and/or I will be giving talks and having readings in the coming weeks:
