Of the 1.5 million adopted children in the United States, international adoptees are the fastest growing segment - and most adopted are Asian girls. While many of their stories are heartwarming and play into our self-image of American compassion and generosity, the realities are much more complex. According to the Journal of the American Medical Association, adoptees have significantly more behavioral problems than non-adopted children. 'Adopted' reveals the grit rather than the glamor of trans-racial adoption. First-time director, Barb Lee, goes deep into the intimate lives of two well-meaning families and shows us the subtle challenges they face. One family is just beginning the process of adopting a baby from China and is filled with hope and possibility. The other family's adopted Korean daughter is now 32 years old. Prompted by her adoptive mother's terminal illness, she tries to create the bond they never had. The results are riveting, unpredictable and telling. While the two families are at opposite ends of the journey, their stories converge to show us that love alone isn't enough to make a family work.

Four successful entrepreneurs and experienced angel investors seek to help "connect women with the resources they need to start and build sustainable high-growth businesses" in this instructive guide. Full of examples of women who mixed passion, vision and a pioneering spirit to achieve professional success, the volume offers both encouragement and practical advice. Ninety-five percent of all investor financing goes to men, the authors say, but it doesn't have to be that way. They explain that entrepreneurs aren't daredevils-they're optimists who take calculated risks. Although the tone is upbeat and the tales are inspiring, the authors also examine the downside of entrepreneurship; beginning and running a business often takes a toll on families, they write, and the need for enormous stamina can test one's spirits.

As members of their party succumb to unearthly attacks and fairy tricks, the two come to rely on each other and even begin to fall in love. But the Kingdom needs only one huntress to save it, and what it takes could tear Kaede and Taisin apart forever.

And yet this cycle, the grandest pattern in Nature, may well be the fundamental reason our species—or any complex life at all—exists.
