Publisher's summary

Candace lost her son. Twice. The first time to adoption as an infant and then 23 years later, not long after reuniting with him. In this heart-wrenching and heart-warming memoir, Candace Cahill offers an intimate view of child relinquishment and child loss, the definition of motherhood, and how two things can be true at one time.

Critic reviews

"Goodbye Again is the poignant and engrossing emotional journey of a birthmother through sorrow to redemption. Cahill's all-too-short reunion with her son makes the memoir especially helpful to mothers who meet waning or ambiguous interest in building a relationship after reunion." —Lorraine Dusky, author of Birthmark and hole in my heart

“Incisive… insightful… a clear perspective… Goodbye Again deserves space on the well-informed person’s adoption bookshelf.” — Lori Holden, Writer, Author, and Podcaster of Adoption: The Long View

Heartbreaking & Inspiring

This story is all too common in the adoption world. It's well written with a good dose of suspence balanced by hope and love. I wish more people had the author's resilience & honesty.

Raw,beautiful and well written memoir

What a beautiful way to honor your son. Thank you for sharing your truth and the agonizing loss birth/ first moms experience through relinquishment of a child. So difficult, whether chosen or not and it’s important to share the truth about the trauma adoptees and first mothers face, as you did in your writing. As hard as it must have been to dive into your pain and trauma from this and your childhood, you have truly inspired others to seek support for themselves. Blown away by the beautiful writing and amazing to hear your voice narrating as only you could.
