"Heavy-duty investigative reporting and compelling personal testimony…. Some of the details of the dark side of the [adoption] industry in Guatemala are Dickensian in their cruelty. But the tone of the book is, perhaps surprisingly, not despairing…. Finding Fernanda can also be read as a call to action." — The Miami Herald
"Reads like a mystery novel, but the facts it reveals are hauntingly true… Siegal does a fantastic job of breaking down a complicated story… a gripping read.” — Christian Science Monitor
