⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing! Couldn’t stop reading
Finding Mary Jane, A Tapestry of Mother's Love is a heartwarming and beautifully written book that explores the depths of a mother's love. The author skillfully weaves together a captivating story filled with emotion, relatable characters, and powerful moments. I was truly touched by the journey of Mary Jane and the bond she shares with her child. This book reminds us of the strength and resilience of mothers and the unconditional love they have for their children, while also touching on the darker topics in a respectful and earnest way. Highly recommended!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Riveting Exploration of How Lives are Affected by Adoption
This is a riveting story of devoted love and triumph over cruelty and heartbreak. Although infused with the poignancy of loss, there is much joy and resilience in these inspiring pages. Beautifully crafted and superbly written, the author cleverly alternates between two lives and two timelines until the characters collide. Anyone who is adopted or gave up their child for adoption will find this epic book a deep healing experience. The complex impact of adoption is often downplayed, however this exploration of the gritty real-life challenges honours the stories of birth parents, adoptees and adoptive families. I heartily recommend this profound book to everyone. You will be enriched with lasting empathy and understanding.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I absolutely loved this book
I could relate to so many themes having spent a lot of time in and around Brisbane and growing up in the same era. This book is so well written, it takes you on a journey that’s for sure. Arie Baker is a brilliant author, I really love the way she writes and I could easily picture in my mind the scenes and characters. I didn't want it to end.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This book touches on some heavy issues
It is well written and a reminder of the devestating affects of domestic violence and generational trauma. Arie Baker is inspiring as she takes you on a journey of survival in search of her true self.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ OMG I read this book in 2 days while on holiday
I couldn’t put it down. Loved it, I felt as if I could feel every emotion in the story as if it was real. I have 2 daughters and have gone through a few issues with them around their teenage years and thankfully got through them. But as a mother you always feel and hope you have done enough to get them through that ugly stage of life. I was truly touched and emotional reading this book. Thank you and I hope it brings a lot of mothers to understand what teenagers are going through. Especially in today’s society as it’s the same but different.
