My story is only one such story about this topicmother-child abandonment. There are many thousands of such stories in the world, people who were abandoned as children. On my book tour for Dont Call Me MotherBreaking the Chain of Mother-Daughter Abandonment, people listen with tears in their eyes as I read about the loss and loneliness that I felt as a child, and they cheer me on as I read how I fought to find myself and create a better life.
