Haarlem by Heather Neff

I just finished reading Haarlem by Heather Neff. The story line centers around a man searching for his mother from whom he was forceably separated in early childhood. But it is also a story of people living and working through addictions, of people learning not to only think of themselves, and of people learning forgiveness in a harsh, imperfect world. It's not a pretty story; but probably is realistic of some segments of society.
