Description
 

At 49, cartoonist Marian Henley hasnt committed to marrying the man with whom she has been dating for seven years. But as the Big 5-0 looms, she realizes that above all else she wants a child. Her story follows the heartbreaking ups and downs of going through the international adoption process; deciding when its time to grow up and maybe even get married; and in the end, its the story of a daughters relationship with her father, and how becoming a mother finally led her to understand him. THE SHINIEST JEWEL is a touching narrative, accompanied by Marians winsome drawings, that beautifully weaves together her realizations about the joy, and sometimes heartbreak, of building a family.
