Synopsis
My book has three narrators: my birth mother, my adopted mother, and myself. It is the tale of two mothers and their connection to one child. One mother was shamed because she had a child and the other because she couldn't.
I am one of 3,500 Greek orphans adopted to the U.S. in the 1950s. Conceived in an act of violence, I was born to an unwed mother who was exiled from her island home for 44 years. Homeless and seven months pregnant in a large mainland city, she could not care for me and lost me to foreign adoption. Raised in California, I returned to Greece when I was 30 where, through a series of life-changing events, I reconnected with my birth mother. Finally, as the orphaned child, I tell my story. Based on documents and oral histories given by both mothers, and my experiences, it is a tale so miraculous it reads like fiction.

About the Author
Maria Heckinger was born in Patras, Greece and adopted through a proxy adoptioin to the U.S. My life in America was not easy. Mom was wonderful but Dad only agreed to adoption to save his marriage. I survived my childhood and returned to Greece where I found my birth mother in one day! The rest of my story blurs the line between blind luck and miraculous events.
