A birthmother’s untold story that dares to ask: What if everything we’ve been told about adoption, unplanned pregnancy, and reproductive rights has been missing something crucial?
In this bold, sometimes funny, and always unflinchingly honest memoir-meets-manifesto, Beth Jaffe shares the side of the adoption story most people never hear; that of the woman who gave birth and then disappeared from the equation. The woman who went quietly, because that’s what the system expected her to do.
But Beth didn’t stay quiet.
With a creative spirit, a dyslexic’s storytelling rhythm, and a gentle but unapologetic voice, Beth takes readers on a deeply personal journey through grief, identity, and transformation. Along the way, she exposes the often-overlooked consequences of framing adoption as a one-size-fits-all solution to unplanned pregnancy, infertility, and abortion debates.
