This is a memoir written by an adoptee. It tells the tale of her biological mother contacting her as an adult, how that leads to her meeting her biological father and the mind games they both play with her. There is some closure for her when she searches through archives and finds out about her family history back several generations, both biological and adopted. In the end you get the feeling that she feels loved and connected to her adopted family, but also like there is something just not quite right. There are just some loose ends for her that will never get wrapped up the way she wants them to or the way they should.
