Pregnant at seventeen, she makes an adoption plan.

What will happen to her child?

What will happen to her?

Alycea is determined to create a better life for her baby and for herself. The only path she can see is placing her baby for adoption. In an industry stacked against birthparents, she must fight for her rights and her child's best interest. When the baby is born, Alycea breaks her own heart to spare her daughter's. But is the sacrifice worth it? Will her daughter be happier and healthier with her new family? And will Alycea ever be okay?

Twenty years of a birthmother's life are exposed in this bare-bones memoir of open adoption. It will break your heart, then heal it, with a new perspective on how we define family.
