Historia
As the story opens: Two-year-old Greta Greene is sitting with her grandmother on a park bench on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. A brick crumbles from a windowsill overhead, striking her unconscious, and she is immediately rushed to the hospital. But although it begins with this event and with the anguish Jayson and his wife, Stacy, confront in the wake of their daughter's trauma and the hours leading up to her death, Once More We Saw Stars quickly becomes a narrative that is as much about hope and healing as it is about grief and loss.

Very well written, tragic story, but

This is a beautiful book, however I recommend reading it vs. listening as the author is really difficult to listen too. I understand this is the father and this is his story but the way he speaks-in a very robotic, clipped, oddly paused way-is really hard to listen, he somehow talks in a easier cadence when talking in the "voice" of side people (the nurse, etc) then when reading his own story. Thank you for writing this book Jayson, thank you for sharing your story.

Historia
Nicole Chung was born premature, placed for adoption by her Korean parents, and raised by a white family in a sheltered Oregon town. From childhood, she heard the story of her adoption as a comforting, prepackaged myth. She believed that her biological parents had made the ultimate sacrifice in the hope of giving her a better life, that forever feeling slightly out of place was her fate as a transracial adoptee. But as Nicole grew up, she wondered if the story she'd been told was the whole truth.

As an adoptee and adoptive parent I really enjoyed this book but the narrater is horrible, her voice is set at a odd flat tone and it sounds like she had water in her mouth while talking. I genuinely winced though the last chapters because I desperately wanted to hear the conclusion.The heavy handed vocals brought the storyline into a really overwrought place that the actual text did not seem to match. Basically someone else should do the audio and this would be a 5/5 stars all the way.

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
While the content of this book is good the reading of it is so frantic, so manic and stressful to listen to I had to yank my headphones out and return the audio book. The writer should stick to writing and have someone MELLOW read the book, its unbearable to listen to this!!
