À propos de cet audio

In this deeply moving and myth-shattering work, Ann Fessler brings out into the open for the first time the astonishing untold history of the million and a half women who surrendered children for adoption due to enormous family and social pressure in the decades before Roe v. Wade. An adoptee who was herself surrendered during those years and recently made contact with her mother, Fessler brilliantly brings to life the voices of more than 100 women as well as the spirit of those times, allowing the women to tell their stories in gripping and intimate detail.

I was born in the early 80's and I really had no idea except for a few movies I had seen as a kid. I'm not sure why I picked this up, but I'm really glad I did! I honestly learned so much!

I do however wish she could have included some of the cruel nurses, or nun's stories. This book made me wonder how someone who is supposed to be in one of the most caring positions becomes so jaded.

Incredible
