Autorenporträt
The author is one of five children who were removed from their first family over time, placed in foster care, and most were adopted. Because of closed adoptions, it took decades to connect scarce information to find her siblings. Not having a medical history caused health problems to go undiagnosed. Information about their Indigenous identity and Northern European roots was vague. When her daughter was born, this was the first time she could remember gazing into the eyes of a relative. She didn't know until decades later that she had lived with her first mother for weeks or months. Because her siblings did not grow up together, it took time to know each other, feel solid in their identity, and develop a deep sense of belonging. This happy ending came after a complicated childhood with many challenges.
