“Stranger Care: A Memoir of Loving What Isn’t Ours” by Sarah Sentilles Photo: Random House
What does it mean to love a child who doesn’t belong to you? This is the central question of “Stranger Care,” and by asking it, author Sarah Sentilles shines a light or beams a heat lamp on all the ways there are to love, be a parent and experience loss.
In prose so gripping it reads like a thriller, Sentilles describes the choices that led to the moment when she and her husband are on the phone with a social worker, saying yes to fostering a 3-day-old girl. She leads us through her 30-something ambivalence about children; her realization she wants a baby; her husband’s resistance; and their compromise to try to adopt through the foster care system.
