A Story Anchored in Faith
My memoir begins with my illegal adoption to a loving but troubled older couple in the 1960s. Both precious memories and troubled endings followed me to adulthood. Resilience and a foundation of faith kept me moving forward, somehow holding onto a bit of hope. My relationship with music and making connections with other people made a difference.
My story, hopefully, can reach out and connect with more people who have struggled. I look forward to those relationships.
