This is a story based on real life experience. Two women of very
different backgrounds finally meet through adoption. Isabel,
married but infertile, adopts Francesca's baby, Laura. Her wish is
to provide the child with a happy,loving home and future, and to be
fulfilled in motherhood herself. As the years go by, life generally
and the path of adoption are far from smooth. Isabel cannot
comprehend her daughter's anger and 'distancing' before, during and
well after adolescence. Something deep within Laura is disturbing
her, and creating this hostility. Nancy Newton Verrier's research
into 'the primal wound' and separation trauma sheds light on the
reasons for these problems in adopted children, hitherto
unexplained. And what of Francesca? This is a book with a mission,
particularly for those considering adoption.
