Linda Hoye was in her early twenties when she found herself
parentless for the second time. Adopted at five months of age, her
heritage, medical history, and access to information about who she
was or where she came from was sealed. It was as if she had never
existed before being adopted. When she was barely in her twenties
her adoptive parents died and a pattern of loss was put into motion
that would continue for years as, one by one, those she called
family were torn from her life. "Two Hearts" charts a course
through a complex series of relationships stemming from the
author's adoptive family, her maternal and paternal birth families,
and an abusive marriage as the author seeks the one thing she so
desperately wants: family. She knows she must come to terms with
the bitterness she harbors toward her birth mother when she becomes
a grandmother and, soon after, faces the loss of the last remaining
members of her adoptive family. She makes one final attempt to find
something that will give her the sense of rightness that eluded her
for so long. This is the story of a woman's journey through
unfathomable grief, of what it takes to go into the abyss of
deep-seated wounding, to feel the pain, and to come out the other
side. Whole, healed, and thankful.
