Produktbeschreibung
In the days before Roe v. Wade, an ambitious young journalist, abandoned by her hometown beau, leaves Michigan for a dream job on the city desk of a Rochester, New York newspaper. Burned once, she's eager for love, but as the only Girl in the newsroom, she's more concerned with finding allies and making friends. When a new leading man appears, she recognizes a kindred spirit. Soon her bylined stories claim front-page space; however, an unplanned pregnancy forces her to shift her focus from deadlines to decisions. With adoption on the horizon, she pushes her man to make a commitment. Sadly, he wants her, but not their daughter. Will Dusky ever find the little girl she longed to raise, and if she does, what will be the fallout from their years apart? In Hole in My Heart, the author uses her skills as a journalist to report on the social history and long-term consequences of adoption and family separation. If you like true stories with strong women narrators, you'll love Lorraine Dusky's timely and heartrending memoir about motherhood, identity, and love. Written by a leader in the movement to reform adoption practices and the first to come out of the era's closet of shame. With footnotes, bibliography and index.
