"Bauer's yearning to understand her past, the journey of her search, and the resulting
complexities make for captivating storytelling. Throughout the memoir, Bauer is able to
skillfully engage the reader in her emotionally gripping story, and she manages to give voice
to an entire population of adoptees through her personal struggle. Readers are sure to
connect with the author's quest to understand her past while she remains optimistically
hopeful about her future. In this manner, Bauer is able to make a personal narrative feel like
a universal truth" - Jessica Higgins for Forword Clarion Reviews
"Not only does this book discuss important issues of adoption, but is fabulously written,
honest and straightforward, sprinkled with cultural anecdotes to set the tone. This book is an
inspiration to other adoptees that have that need to seek out their birth parents."
