Review # 2 was written on 2008-07-20 00:00:00 Christopher Williams This book was written by one of my favorite college professors, and I really enjoyed reading it. It is about her search for the baby she was forced to give up for adoption when she was sixteen years old and her lifelong struggle with depression over her loss. Her writing is so open and honest and soul revealing, and I found many ways that I could deeply connect with her story. Several years ago I read her other book for a class called "Writing Women's Lives" about women's memoirs. Her examination of memoirists' attempts to find healing by revealing burdensome secrets they have been forced to keep throughout their lives was thought provoking and causes the reader to truly re-examine the harmful nature of the secrets so many of us try to keep burried in our pasts only to find them seeping through into our present permeating everything we do.
