Only rarely does a memoir come along that taps into the
heart of the human condition. The Sound of Hope is
such a story, told by Anne Bauer, an adoptee, who
cannot forget that she had another life and another
family before being adopted.
Much of Anne's childhood was spent wondering about
her other mother. She desperately wanted to know
where she was, what she looked like and most
importantly, why she placed her for adoption. Living in
the closed adoption system, her questions were met
with a wall of silence. This aura of secrecy only
intensified Anne's quest to eventually discover her own
story. Faced with anger and contempt, secrets and
revelations, Anne sets out to uncover the truth.
This powerful memoir traverses family and
relationships and carries the unforgettable message
that nobody should be cut off from their origins.
