Zusammenfassung:Julia Murdock Smith was one of the infant twins adopted by Joseph and Emma Smith. Here, Morton examines the ways adoption may have shaped Julia's life, drawing on modern psychological literature that characterizes the experiences of those who have been adopted. She grounds her approach in the theory that the human response to being given away by one's birthparents transcends generational effects.
