A Memoir of Loss, Struggle, and Unbreakable Hope Author Marianne
Curtis reveals her own personal, heart-wrenching, and, ultimately,
inspiring story in Finding Gloria. Her past is laid bare in
achingly honest detail, and her willingness to share her story with
resonate with readers everywhere. Pouring her own hardships out
onto the page, Marianne Curtis recounts her experiences growing up
as an adopted child: adopted at birth, she was raised in a
household where she was subjected to terrible and heart breaking
forms of abuse. Her adoptive mother repeatedly tried to break her
spirit, insisting that she was worthless and unwanted. In a
desperate attempt to escape her circumstance, Curtis fled, as a
teenager, to another city. Desperate for acceptance and love, she
married at age eighteen, and, by twenty-four, had four children.
Her insecurities from her traumatic childhood followed her,
however, and eventually led to the dissolution of three marriages
and her own mental breakdown. Finally, after the death of her
adoptive mother, Curtis searched out her birth family, found them
through Facebook, and eventually came to a place of love, healing,
peace, and acceptance through the family she had not known for more
than four decades. An inspiring story about rising from the ashes
of our pasts, Marianne Curtis' memoir is written in a pure, vivid
voice, and draws readers in with her will to survive despite the
seemingly insurmountable struggles that she faced. Finding Gloria
is one woman's incredible story of love, loss, redemption, and
forgiveness, even in the face of devastating events. A beautiful
and moving tale, Curtis' raw emotion and fragile hope is revealed
through her candid prose and unbreakable spirit.
