Hello
Join me in celebrating family by creating a conversation about adoption.
Why would I want to make people uncomfortable like that?
Because truth is where love begins.
Difficult decisions that affect the development of a family should always come from a foundation of love and concern for the well-being of individuals.
In the words of my friend Natalie Serber, "When we expand our definitions of family, everyone is uplifted." ~ Terrie
Jules Fae is Terrie Novak’s debut novel. She is an adoptee and privileged to a rare abundance of love shared with her bio kids, adoptive parents, first mother, and biological siblings. Terrie lives in Portland, Oregon.
Jules Fae is a story of longing, perseverance and love.
A story of adoption and reunion, the beautiful novel traces how we survive the deepest cuts and what it means to make a family. Terrie Novak, with her insightful and intimate voice, reminds us that no feeling is final, and that the human heart is a powerful force for strength, resilience and generosity. She shows us that when we expand our definitions of family, everyone is uplifted.
