OverviewTravel across the years in this collage memoir rendered in archival letters and images, lyrical vignettes, and poetry; a poignant framing of an infant girl's 1950s abandonment and domestic closed adoption by a military couple. Amid a tangle of primal loss and privilege; the separation, secrecy, discipline, and transience through the turbulent 1960s, an Air Force officer's adopted daughter struggles with identity bewilderment. At forty, the need to know her origins surfaces, and she begins searching for her original family. Decades later, on her parallel journey of DNA self-discovery, she reconciles her adopted life and gains the wealth of natural heritage.
