Story5 out of 5 stars 16
Adoptee Emma's birth mother took steps to remain anonymous. In order to put the pieces of her life back together, Emma embarks on multiple journeys and adventures towards both solving the mystery of who she is and healing from the pain of separation from her origins. It's a story of inner strength and perseverance where Emma welcomes all her parts of self to feel valued and seen. In a meditative and surreal state, under and around a big old oak tree with a simple wood-seated rope swing attached, she accepts the invitation of integrating herself in this stirring memoir.

This book showed how adoption trauma hits an adoptee in so many different ways. I am glad Emma found herself through her journey in the gathering place. Well done!
