Books remain one of the best passports to understand others and the world around us.
The stories we remember are those that tell us something new and also something universal. My tale, as an adoptee who spent decades reclaiming my past and seeking justice, is as old as humanity. It mirrors the archetypal myth of the orphan/adoptee/hero, who overcomes impossible odds to complete a perilous quest.
The hero’s journey is also the larger story of millions of adoptees in the United States, like me. Through my own story, I also tell the larger tale of the U.S. adoption experience in the decades after World War II.
My book, You Don’t Know How Lucky You Are, is a perfect gift to show others this hidden world and how it impacts those who are forced to travel through it, throughout their lifetime. My memoir about my adoptee journey, from my birth in one of the largest maternity hospitals that promoted adoption to finding justice more than five decades later, is accessible to all, even readers who know little about this uniquely America system.
Buy the book online on Amazon, in paperback and as an e-book for your Kindle reader.
