WISHES OF LOVE
A Memoir of Love, Hope, and Family
A heartfelt memoir about adoption, identity, and the true meaning of family.
ABOUT THE BOOK
Wishes of Love is a heartfelt memoir telling the story of a young boy from Ukraine and his journey to America, exploring themes of identity, belonging, and family through the lens of adoption.
This deeply personal narrative chronicles the transformative experience of leaving behind everything familiar and finding love, acceptance, and a sense of home in a new country. It's a story about what it means to be part of a family and how love transcends borders, languages, and biology.
At its core, this memoir affirms a simple but powerful truth: DNA does not make a family, but rather love. Through honest reflection and emotional vulnerability, it explores the complexities of immigration, adoption, and building bridges between two worlds.
