Based on the author's own experience and narrated in the first person, this is the story of a woman who adopts a baby girl from China. She briefly describes the paperwork and plane flight, but focuses on the most important parts - her delight upon meeting her child, her immediate affection for her, her friends and relatives' excitement at her arrival, and the love that made them a family. Unabashedly sentimental without being cloying, I Love You Like Crazy Cakes is a tender reminiscence of the birth of a family.
