 It's still with me October 1, 2003

I read this book for the first time when I was in high school and was dealing with "saying goodbye" to my birthmother. It was such a relief to see what I was feeling actually in words. Seven years later, this book is still one of my favorites. It goes beyond the general circumstances surrounding Natalie's adoption and really gets into what she is feeling and the story behind the adoption in the first place. This is a book that ANYONE who has been adopted needs to read. It's a great novel that stays with you!

I think the book was a good book to expain how adoption works, and how some people choose to deal with adoption. I have been placed and I am lucky to actually know who my birth mom is. I am going to say that the girls(Natalie) search is something that happens all the time with people who don't know who their parents are. It shows how all of the sides of the emotions from the girl, parents, and birthmother feel.

I read this book in only a few hours. It was so compelling-especially the way every little detail fits together. Learning about Natalie's birth mother was amazing- and you have to read this. It felt so real!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can not explain the way this book made me feel. Buy it!!!!!

I have read this book, Find a Stranger, Say Goodbye 2 times now and it is the BEST book I've ever read. Natalie Armstrong had everything beauty,great boyfriend, an early acceptance into collage, a great family, but one thing was missing: Who is my real mother? As Natalie searches for her mother over the summer she has some tough times. But finally she finds her mother. She was happy but not as happy as she would have liked to of been. I highly reccomend this book to anyone who is adopted and wants to find who their bilogical parents are.
A gripping tale of a young girls quest for her past. October 30, 1997

When Natalie Armstrong graduates from high shcool, she decides that she wants to go on a search to find her birth mother and learn about her adoption. Her curiosity takes her to the small town of Simmon's Mills. There she meets old Dr. Therrian the man who helped arrange Natalie's adoption. While talking to this dying man she finds out her mother's name. Her real mother's name. But there Natalie is at a dead end. Later, after careful searching Natilie decides to go to New York. This book holds you in its grasp to the very last page. The gripping truth of a young girls search to find her past is painstakingly real. Lois Lowery has once again created a masterpeice. A must read.
