Tough but touching.

[JudyM]

I have really enjoyed this novel in which two different but intertwined story lines are merged. Two different characters embark on a search to find a birth parent. Neither mawkish nor sentimental the author manages to treat an emotional subject with wit and dry humour.

Maybe I've missed something, but what novel are you talking about?

[JudyM]

No, actually I think I'm missing something. A brain perhaps. Sorry about that.
The novel is called 'Any place I hang my hat' by Susan Isaacs.
