In reading this book, I felt myself reliving my own experience with a maternity home and the loss of a child to adoption. No one can understand the experience unless having lived it. The path towards healing and spirtual connection is the author's own, but I could feel myself taking the journey with her. My experience has been the same and different as well, yet the arrival is so similar. Through past writings of this author, I have been able to gain new insights and feel healings come to me. As a birthmother myself, I truly appreciate the author putting her experience, traumas and healing out there for all to read and absorb. As a mother who has also raised a child to adulthood, I can feel her joy in the children she was able to keep and nuture. I look forward to more insightful writings from this author.
This was a very inspirational book for me. One cannot help but gain a certain amount of strength simply reading about this Mother's determined search. I was able to work through some of my own life issues and gain greater clarity about being a Mother and an understanding of the relationship I have with my own children. It is so much more than simply a story about a woman searching for her daughter.
