Sobornost

The story of one boy’s adoption and of three Russian mothers who are forced to make heartbreaking decisions for their children, set in Yekaterinburg, Russia in the years after the collapse of communism, Sobornost examines adoption from both the adoptive and birth parent perspectives and explores the limits of family.

"It's rare to find an account that details, in depth, both sides and perspectives of the adoption process - much less captures the underlying emotions and perceptions in a fictional format.

Sobornost is a cooperative journey that includes social and religious introspection as well as cultural interactions, and ultimately reveals the linked points in a world governed by a belief in God and the principle of sobornost."-- Midwest Book Review MBR Bookwatch, D. Donovan, eBook Reviewer, MBR
