My 2 sisters and I received the book from a close friend in 1997 when our mother died, but I never had time to sit down and read the entire book. In reading it last week, I found a wonderful letter from Pamela M, who was an adopted child. I have a cousin in Kansas City, Kansas who was left in the Denver, CO train station in 1944. We have "adopted" each other as sisters. She never felt like she really belonged, though in the past year she did find relatives on her birth mother's side through the help of Ancestry. I called and read her the letter to the birth mother and it fit her exactly, and she thought it was absolutely beautiful. All the entries are so wonderful, and I'm sending her a copy as a gift.
