Award-winning journalist and host of Black "Enterprise" Business
Report Caroline Clarke's moving memoir of her surprise discovery of
her birthmother-Cookie Cole, the daughter of Nat King Cole-and the
relationship that blossomed between them through the heartfelt
messages they exchanged on hundreds of postcards. Caroline Clarke
was born in an era when adoptions were shameful, secret, and
sealed. While she wondered about her biological parents, she kept
her curiosity in check, until a series of small health problems
raised concerns about her genetic heritage and its consequences for
her two children's lives and her own. Though Spence-Chapin Family
Service, the agency that handled her adoption, could not reveal the
name of her birth mother, it was able to provide details that lead
to a shocking truth. Caroline's birth mother and her family were
related to a friend. The woman who gave her life was none other
than Carole "Cookie" Cole, the daughter of iconic crooner and
pianist Nat King Cole. Drawing on details provided by the agency
and her own investigative skills, Caroline embarked on a
life-changing journey of discovery that stretched from coast to
coast, forged through e-mail, phone calls, and post cards. The
constancy, volume, and intimacy of her steady correspondence with
Cookie filled the days and distance between them. Through brief yet
poignant messages squeezed onto three-inch open-faced squares,
mother and daughter revealed themselves, sharing secrets, taking
risks, and ultimately building a bond like no other. A heartfelt,
inspiring tribute to both Caroline's adoptive parents and her
biological mother, Postcards from Cookie illuminates the enduring
power of love to shape and guide our lives.
