Can't-Wait Wednesday is a weekly book meme hosted by Tressa at Wishful Endings. It's a fun way for bookworms to share the upcoming releases that they are most excited for. One of the books I'm most excited for right now is The Nature of Small Birds. My goal this year was to expand the different types of genres that I read. I was good about it for the first part of the year, but not so much lately. I discovered this book on Goodreads a while back and I'm hoping that my local library will have this one soon. If they do, I better stock up on tissues. I have the feeling this one will make me cry. ~The Nature of Small Birds~ Author: Susie Finkbeiner Expected Publication: July 6, 2021 In 1975, three thousand children were airlifted out of Saigon to be adopted into Western homes. When Mindy, one of those children, announces her plans to return to Vietnam to find her birth mother, her loving adoptive family is suddenly thrown back to the events surrounding her unconventional arrival into their lives. Though her father supports Mindy's desire to meet her family of origin, he struggles privately with an unsettling fear that he'll lose the daughter he's poured his heart into. Mindy's mother undergoes the emotional roller coaster inherent in the adoption of a child from a war-torn country, discovering the joy hidden amid the difficulties. And Mindy's sister helps her sort through relics that whisper of the effect the trauma of war has had on their family--but also speak of the beauty of overcoming.

This does sound like it will be a great read--definitely one that will make you (and me) cry. I am adding it to my wish list. I'm already feeling for Mindy and adoptive parents! Thank you for sharing! I
