What a fantastic and fascinating life Donna has had. To be so resilient and build positive relationships with all family members despite obstacles.
I felt honoured to read this story.

A Remarkable Search..
Emotional and powerful account of a remarkable search for a birth family and the incredible, twisted path down which it leads. In essence, a pacy memoir of a quite unbelievable story - yet a true one - exposing mind blowing scandal and duplicity along the way. Written with an open honesty and empathy, both heartwarming and heartfelt.
Kelly P, Reviewer
I love to read books about adoption. This one was so intriguing and I am happy that Freed wrote it. She has a very interesting story to share and did it in a well-written way. A page-turner. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.

Interesting story that crescendoed into a conclusion that didn’t feel as surprising as it had been set up to be. Overall a compelling read.
