Sacred Heart, Minnesota, 1934: Born in the Great Depression to a
sadly mismatched couple, a child is moved from one small town to
another in her family's quixotic search for affluence. She is
neglected, abused, kept penniless in a middle-class family. She
dreams of helping children find the stable family she is denied.
Forced out of her home at sixteen, she's a runaway, a child bride,
a battered teenage mother. While she observes major events of the
twentieth century, she wins her private struggle for independence.
Through romance with a former World War II German soldier
during the social revolution of the 1960s, to moving to Texas in
the 1980s, Jean Erichsen becomes an innovator in international
adoptions and a widely acclaimed and emulated agency director,
social worker, and author. On an international journey spanning
three decades, she and her husband raise children while traveling
abroad and shaping ethical adoption practices for the benefit of
thousands of orphans.
