If you like mysterious adventures I recommend this book to you. My favorite part of the book was toward the end, when Milagros tells her parents about how she wasn't looking for her parents but she wanted to fill a blank of her life that she did not know about. Will Milly brake the barrier that is keeping her from finding out about her origins? Find out by reading this book.Įven tough I didn't quite like this book because I don't usually read this genre of books, there were some parts that I liked. As Milly listens to Pablo stories about his country she becomes more interested on finding more about her home town. Pablo is a refugee that comes from the same country that Milly was adopted from. Milly avoids discussing about her past with others, until she meets Pablo. She is also Milagros an abandoned orphan that was rescued when she was a baby from Latin America. She is Milly, a girl that has been living in Vermont for most of her life with her adoptive parents. Milly Milagros Kaufman has two identities. "Finding Miracles" is a book about a 15 years old teenager girl that was adopted from Latin America trying to find herself. I still think this book did a good job.Īltogether, I wouldn't say this book is as horrible as I could have thought, but I'm not the intended audience, and I think many readers will appreciate it more than I do.
The prose is brilliantly done, highlighting a lovely illustration of familial and cultural discovery. Along with the main plot, the book also has a charming love story that I found to be enlivening and that blended in admirably with the personalities of the characters.
And as a reader, I personally didn't really sense the historical connection. I think the author may have chosen not to reveal Millie's true origins in order to make the story more global and symbolic of the many countries suffering under dictatorships. It seemed forced to me and like it dragged.īeing, ultimately, a story about identity, I felt that it eliminated a key component of the main character's sense of self.
However, the work seemed to lose steam when Millie, our MC, traveled to the foreign state. Unfortunately, I didn't really enjoy this book.Īctually, this book does a fantastic job of addressing the tension that many adoptees experience when they learn about their birth families and the effects that has on their adopted family.
The incredibly charming journey of a girl who was adopted and reared in the US, who confronts her uneasiness and worries around her unidentified origins.
