NEW YORK TIMES EDITORS’ CHOICE • “A powerful, heartbreaking, necessary masterpiece.”—Cheryl Strayed, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Wild The moving story of what one woman learned from fostering a newborn—about injustice, about making mistakes, about how to better love and protect people beyond our immediate kin May you always feel at home. After their decision not to have a biological child, Sarah Sentilles and her husband, Eric, decide to adopt via the foster care system. Despite knowing that the system’s goal is the child’s reunification with the birth family, Sarah opens their home to a flurry of social workers who question them, evaluate them, and ultimately prepare them to welcome a child into their lives—even if it means most likely having to give the child back. After years of starts and stops, and endless navigation of the complexities and injustices of the foster care system, a phone call finally comes: a three-day-old baby girl named Coco, in immediate need of a foster family. Sarah and Eric bring this newborn stranger home. “You were never ours,” Sarah tells Coco, “yet we belong to each other.” A love letter to Coco and to the countless children like her, Stranger Care chronicles Sarah’s discovery of what it means to mother—in this case, not just a vulnerable infant but the birth mother who loves her, too. Ultimately, Coco’s story reminds us that we depend on family, and that family can take different forms. With prose that Nick Flynn has called “fearless, stirring, rhythmic,” Sentilles lays bare an intimate, powerful story with universal concerns: How can we care for and protect one another? How do we ensure a more hopeful future for life on this planet? And if we’re all related—tree, bird, star, person—how might we better live?

Sentilles has written one of the most rewarding books I've read in a long time. It's the story of her and her husband's two-plus years of trying to provide a loving, stable, supportive, foster home for a newborn child. They find themselves working with and frustrated by both the foster-care establishment and the birth mother in an ever-changing environment, on a roller-coaster ride almost beyond belief. But they never lose their profound love for the child through it all.She relieves the reader's anxiety (probably purposely, but maybe not?) with a steady stream of reflections on the natural world around us and wisdom about our relationship to others, including those we do not know. These reflections alone are worth reading the book.Finally, it is so well written that I even got choked up reading her lovely Acknowledgements at the end. That has NEVER happened before!Truly a must-read!
