Produktbeschreibung
The fact that Joanna Johansen was adopted was never a secret, but she rarely talked about it with her long-time school friends, Amy, Lauren, and Janene. There came a moment, however, when Joanna answered their questions and disclosed her birth box left by that long-ago mother. Following the death of her adoptive mother, Joanna launches a journey that takes her to Mexico, following clues toward the discovery of this unknown mother. Honoring the pact of their childhood, each friend plays a role in the search, experiencing fragments of the richness of Mexico-its contrasts, its powerful history, and remarkably romantic setting. They watch as Joanna finds unexpected romance, questions her future, and achieves solace. The reader catches glimpses of Dixie, the birth mother, whose childhood pain left a permanent spine in her heart. Hers has been a life of fleeing from deep turmoil. La Espina is a story of friendship, loyalty, love, searching, and healing.

Autorenporträt
Growing up on Country Roads-the title of my unfinished memoir-and traveling countless throughfares across the world, bequeathed a wealth of experiences and memories that fill me up. Oh, but then, I must add the daughter, Chris who died too young, and son, Mitch who bestowed on me paramount joys and tender moments. I glow with the blessings of grandchildren and great grandchildren as we hike a mountain, bake a loaf of bread, celebrate a milestone, or aim for tomorrow. Add then, the thousands of eager or uncertain faces that touched my soul during the over sixty years I've spent in classrooms, plus singing joyous songs with choirs for almost forever. Can't forget friendships galore during years of playing bridge, domino games, sharing meals together-rooms filled with laughter and ofttimes, tears. And above all, my cup runneth over with the blessings of faith in My God, My Savior Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. Is it no wonder that I desire to tell a story, to spin a tale?
