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

Book Description
Josh Cameron has it all: a World Championship ring with the Boston Celtics, an MVP award, a clean-cut image, and the adoration of millions. What he doesn't have is family. Until the day 12-year-old smartaleck Molly Parker confronts him in a parking lot and claims to be his daughter—the only daughter of Jen Parker, Josh's college sweetheart and the still the only girl he's ever loved. Trouble is, Jen Parker died last year, and now Molly has tracked down the father she never knew, the one her mother never wanted her to know about. Josh Cameron cares about two things only: himself, and basketball. The last thing this superstar wants or needs is a 12-year-old daughter. Yet this isn't just any 12-year-old. Mr. World Champion has finally met his match.

In the tradition of About a Boy comes a smile-inducing sports and holiday novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Mike Lupica. ... Read more

Lupica did it again!!
I have been reading LUpica's books since Travel Team and everyone of them has been great. Molly Parker is very easy to relate to and this book brings out great emotions. His books have a good way of incorporating sports into the characater's life. I also enjoyed how all of his books contain character's from other books. I think that we were first introduced to Josh Cameron Summer Ball. Great read for boys and girls.

great book
A gift for my step-daughter.She read in it a day and loved it.

Another good Lupica book
Miracle on 49th street is another good read from Mr. Lupica.It has his trade mark humor combined with just plausible sport related dilema's.I truly appreciate that in this story that the most dominant NBA player is a clean cut guy that is not known for getting into trouble on or off the court.I really liked his main character Molly. Throughout the book she really does maintain a positive and heartwarming attitude to very painful, realistic issues.I think this book is suitable for all ages and sexes, and the only thing I disliked is that I finished it so fast.

An amazing adventure
I really enjoyed reading this book. I highly recommend thihs book for anyone that likes sports. Specificly if you enjoy basketball and the Boston Celtics. This book is about a girl 13 years old finding her real father.Her mom had just dies and she is living with her moms' best friend from college. Right before she died her mother wrote her a letter saying who her real father is.

The girl is determind to get this NBA superstar to believe her that he is her real father. The NBA player Josh Cameron believe they should get a DNA test to see if it is true. The girl Molly won't allow them to get a DNA test. This is because she wants him to want her to be his daughter all by himself which he has never wanted anything but basketball. I really enjoyed reading this book.
