About the book
An unusually humorous and candid memoir of growing up adopted, searching for and finding the birth mother and dealing with the psychological trauma associated with this adoption. Beginning on a beach in Cornwall and ending when Mulholland's adoptive parents and birth mother join him in a rehab clinic in the Arizona desert, Special & Odd constantly questions the extent to which his personality has been formed by adoption into a wealthy upper middle class family. Does his adoptive status really influence his behaviour and decisions? Is he really special and odd?
