Michele | 4 comments Hello CFD! I would like to read the book, Appalachian Song by Michelle Shocklee. It seems to be a beautiful and emotional read revolving around adoption. I am an adoptive mother. Before I start the book, I would like to know if anyone has read this book, their thoughts and insights? Thank you so very much!
