A life-changing telephone call shatters the calm of one Chappaqua,
New York family's routine evening. The caller was looking for his
roots and wanted to speak with the writer's late mother. What
happens next is the tale of an adoption reunion, when a severed
branch is attached to the family tree. The reunion between the
adult adoptee and his original or birth mother does not, and
cannot, happen in a vacuum. Several family systems are involved as
well as the mother-child duo. Volcanic anger from the adoptee and
delayed grieving on the part of the mother are all part of the
story. This edition contains an epilogue describing the reunion and
the family interactions 17 years later.
