A passionate love affair between high school sweethearts creates an accidental pregnancy during a sultry night on the shore of Lake Michigan. Rebecca's unforgiving parents banish her to an unwed mother's home where she secretly gives birth to a baby girl. Her daughter Judy is placed in the loving care of foster parents before being callously given to Mario and Rosella Romano for adoption on her first birthday. Reoccurring visions and fantasies of her birthmother plague Judy's consciousness for three decades until a life-changing passage into adulthood causes her to question why she was abandoned. What begins as a simple investigation into her medical and ancestral history slowly evolves into a passionate quest to discover her roots. Through good timing, perseverance, and a few small miracles, Judy eventually solves the mystery of her origins. But will the woman she has been seeking welcome Judy back into her life? About the Authors Judith and Martin Land live in Colorado and Arizona. They told the entire story of Judith Land's adoption, from her birth through adulthood, to provide the reader with unique insights into the mind of an adoptee at various stages of her life.

Now that we have finished reading your well written book, we are in awe that our friends on their first attempt at writing have, "Hit the ball out of the Park". The plot was so emotionally charged, engrossing, and agonizing at times. Chapter 25, entitled Great Expectations was followed by some of the most painful expressions of rejection anyone could experience. How you, Judy maintained your patience, composure, good nature and positiveness is astonishing and unprecedented by all human standards, we are aware of. It is a testament to your trusting personality, the love and devotion of a wonderfully supporting and gifted husband whose life experiences maintained good charting and course changes, Divine Providence or just plain luck. Whatever the reason, it is good that you told your story, just think of the millions of souls who are victims, if that is the correct term that will prosper from your journey, and your story is truly one of authenticity. Both of you worked expertly together and your finished work is simply wonderful. Penny and I read the last two chapters and epilogue together because we both wanted to share our final thoughts and comments from a common place. We are so proud of both of you and will gladly read your next book; there will have to be one, you know! Your fans insist the team should stay out on the field; it's much too early to sit on the bench. Again, nice job. CLAP, CLAP, CLAP.
