Tell me a little about your book.
A Question of Heritage is a fictionalized version of my adoption story. At its core, the book highlights the angst of those in the adoption triad and the complicated realities of adoption. With close accuracy, it is the story of the search and finding of my heritage. It is the compilation of my experiences and the research of my past, a past that was previously unavailable to me, just as my original birth record was unavailable to me.
What inspired you to write this book?
