I'M WITH THEM, Lessons From My Children, by Elizabeth Eastwood, chronicles the personal journey of a single white woman who adopts two children from war-torn Peru and raises them in suburban America.
Raised in America’s heartland, the author is surprised by the otherization her family faces. Her children have three strikes against them: they are adopted, brown-skinned, and raised by a single mom. Through them, she comes face to face with what it feels like to look different, be different, and stand out in a crowd. “I’m with them,” she often responds to strangers’ puzzled looks and prying comments.
This memoir blends vignettes—sometimes outrageous, often hilarious or poignant—with no-holds-barred social commentary that reveals deep truths about life in the United States.
