Description
Adoption is not for the faint of heart. Labours of Love chronicles the journeys of Canadians who have overcome heartbreaking obstacles to become parents. Their stories are as diverse as our country, and span the borders of our world. While each account is unique in its own way, the stories are connected by the overwhelmingly commonality of the power of human connection.
About the author
Deborah Brennan is among women whose career interfered with having a family. The challenges she faced as a design project manager for a major retailer did little to prepare her for the rigors of her daughter's adoption. She lives in Oakville, Ontario.
