As stated by the author, life is something truly amazing. But love is something even more amazing; some are born into generous love, while others are not. When one is loved, one is able to find beauty in the simplest forms, "the sweet singing of the birds has awakened me from my sleep" (Albrecht, 18) (one could also imagine Caprice as a Disney princess starting her adventure ). Because Caprise was able to find love in her adoptive family, she is able to see the world with love, rather than hate; It's a better place, where people are good and she's a very special Disney princess. However, this was not always the case for Caprice or her older sister, “[her] birth mother was an alcoholic… [mine] was a cocaine addict” (Albrecht, 19). Each child in the Albrecht family experienced pain that no one else could have imagined, but the pain was overshadowed by her love.
