My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a beautiful and emotional story. As a parent it really tugs at my heart to imagine the pain that Betty goes through and also the pain and confusion Marlena goes through.

Betty and her boyfriend are madly in love and are planning to get married. However when Betty finds out she is pregnant her parents put into action a plan which will change all there lives for ever. This is the 1950’s and a child out of wedlock and at a young age is frowned upon. So against Betty’s wishes she is placed in a school for naughty girls and when her baby is born she gives her up for adoption.

No fast forward to 1980s and Marlena is living her life. She has it all. A loving partner who she plans on marrying, a job she loves as a midwife and loving parents.

When her father is taken ill and needs a kidney transplant Marlena doesn’t hesitate to volunteer to be tested. That’s when her parents drop the bomb shell  and destroy her world. Her parents are her adoptive parents not her biological ones.
Now Marlena is on a mission to find her real parents and learn their story.
Will Marlena be able to find them or will she be too late to get the answers she is looking for.
