About this listen

This is a warm and life-affirming account, honest but never whimsical. Despite some of the difficult subjects, this memoir is overwhelmingly positive and a tribute to love.

Modern families come together in all sorts of ways—one parent, two parents; same sex, opposite sex; planned, unplanned; biological, adopted. There are examples of different sorts of families all around us.

Finding Mac tells the story of how one family came together, as Richard and his wife Swee welcome eight-year-old Mac into their lives. It recounts the highs and lows as they get to know and love each other becoming a successful family unit. Along the way it shares their experience of adoption, and particularly the experience of adopting an older child. From joining a local school, figuring out your family’s new traditions, going on holiday for the first time, and navigating the bureaucracy of the social care system.

But all that changed when Mac was killed on his motorbike, just a few months after his sixteenth birthday. Finding Mac deals honestly with the feelings of a parent who faces the death of his child, and coping with the aftermath.

Wonderfully sensitive story

Richard Sutcliffe covers multiple subjects in this book.
From childlessness through to he and his wife becoming parents through being able to adopt a son.
The journey they follow through their child's life to when they felt they found the real Mac followed by the very tragic loss of their son Mac has become the most beautiful story of love and loss.

Richard's performance through this amazing story was excellent. Even through great loss he was able to still share his deep love of his treasured son Mac.

If ever Richard Sutcliffe writes another book I will definitely purchase it. His voice is so listenable to!!
