At two, Lisa was adopted from Korea by a loving Swedish couple. It wasn‘t until she had children of her own that she began a serious search for her first family. What she uncovered was the dark side of transnational adoption: a lucrative industry. And the revelation that there‘s always a sorrowful aspect to adoption: mothers don‘t give up their children lightly. Eye opening graphic nonfiction translated by Hanna Stromberg et al.
