The Bond is a powerful memoir that chronicles the strength of the relationships formed among a collection of unrelated siblings who forged a remarkable, separate, and permanent family within a foster home.
Kirkus.com calls it: A poignant, infuriating, informative, and ultimately triumphant account of an unusual clan.
BookLife.com wrote: Grotticelli's unsparing honesty about his birth and foster families will make readers wince and keep them marveling at the indomitability of these children. That the foster siblings were able to forge familial bonds with each other is extraordinary.
OnlineBookClub.com said: This is a book about real people, real lives and real feelings. It is the story of their triumph over adversity and their struggle to find the kind of family love that many of us take for granted.
Angelo M. Grotticelli is a veteran technology journalist. This is his first book.
