Plot Summary of Notes from Nobody
"This is a story about and by a Birth Mother who found her two babies (35 and 33 years later) that were given away through adoption at birth. It tells about the ramifications in her life from the beginning to present day. It reflects present-day reunion stories that are on TV all the time and tells what the shows don't, by delving into the feelings and needs that are brought to the surface in finding long lost children. This book will help birth parents understand their feelings and needs, and will lead the lost child/adult into an understanding of what that parent felt when giving that baby away. There are many aspects of the human heart to understand and this is one way of helping the long lost child/adult and birth parent who may be wanting to or having found the part of them that is missing to reach a gentle love of the other part. "
Claudia Turner VanLydegraf, Resident Scholar
