THE GOOD
1. The plot: It's a true story straight from the horse's mouth- so obviously it is nothing short of amazing! The memories that slowly creep back from when the young man was five to the part that Google Earth plays in re-uniting him with his birth mother- all adds up to a heart-wrenching story that you somehow relate to at every level- be it the plight of the mother that adopts or the one that gives birth only to lose the chance of seeing her child grow, the adopted child or the real son/ brother within. All emotions and
