Ouch!If you have loving parents, be grateful . . . .
If you are an adoptee looking for an easy answer to your problems, be warned: Richard Frayne's book offers hope and insights - but no instant or easy solutions. His journey has been a life-long one and, although he appears to have emerged more or less in one piece, it has not been an easy ride - either for him or for those around him.

The message is that you will have to dig deep, and keep on digging, to uncover and come to terms with the trauma of being given away at birth. And that you will need professional help with this. Frayne shows how his encounters with Jungian analysis, meditation, Transactional Analysis and finally, hypnotherapy have each played their part in the jigsaw-like healing process.

There are some very funny, touching and haunting parts in this book, but the overriding impression from this book is one of the need for ruthless honesty - he has even bravely allowed his wife to write a searing account of her life with an adoptee.

This is an interesting and useful book, not just for adoptees, but for anyone who has experienced parental rejection at an early age.

Searching For Molly Parker is a Must Read!
'Searching For Molly Parker' is an entertaining and insightful look into the life and mind of an adoptee.The author, Richard Frayne, educates and entertains the reader while maintaining a wonderful balance of drama, comedy and romance. I highly recommend this book for anyone who has been affected either directly or indirectly by adoption, abuse, or abandonment. ... Read more

From the supplier: Molly Parker plays the role of a necrophiliac in 'Kissed,' Canada's entry to the 1996 Toronto International Film Festival.

A wonderful children's book
As drought and hunger begin to drive his people to despair, a daring young Gashta (small, golden-furred humanoids) decides to seek the help of the Big Ones (humans) who look so busy and prosperous. The Big One, who identifies himself as Pappy Jack, names him Little Fuzzy, and takes him and his whole family in. However, when a Big One named Kellogg makes one of the Gashta disappear, it's the beginning of a big adventure for a Little Fuzzy.

The incomparable H. Beam Piper wrote Little Fuzzy in 1962, and in 1983 (some 19 years after his death), the story was reworked into this children's book. For an adult reader, the book has some real problems. There are a number of plot and character changes in the story, and several strange inconsistencies are included (e.g. the Gashta can speak fluent Lingua Terra even before they meet Pappy Jack, saying such things among themselves as, "Everyone in the compound knows that we are a sapient race of beings."). Also, though the book is nominally told from Little Fuzzy's viewpoint, it switches away from him during his absence from Pappy Jack's house, much as he temporarily disappears from the book Little Fuzzy.

But please don't take these criticisms too seriously. As a child's book, this book is nothing short of wonderful. The story is gentle (Goldilocks simply vanishes here), and the illustrations are simply wonderful. I've seen some of them in different places, but in this book they are large and marvelous to look at. Overall, I would highly recommend this book for any young reader. (Especially if the child has a parent who is a Piper fan!) ... Read more
