Descriere magazin:
A gripping memoir and revelatory investigation into the history of the Foundling Hospital and one girl who grew up in its care - the author\'s own mother.\'Page-turning and profoundly moving\' VIRGINIA NICHOLSONGrowing up in a wealthy enclave outside San Francisco, Justine Cowan\'s life seems idyllic. But her mother\'s unpredictable temper drives Justine from home the moment she is old enough to escape. It is only after her mother dies that she finds herself pulling at the threads of a story half-told - her mother\'s upbringing in London\'s Foundling Hospital. Haunted by this secret history, Justine travels across the sea and deep into the past to discover the girl her mother once was.Here, with the vividness of a true storyteller, she pieces together her mother\'s childhood alongside the history of the Foundling Hospital: from its idealistic beginnings in the eighteenth century, how it influenced some of England\'s greatest creative minds - from Handel to Dickens, its shocking approach to childcare and how it survived the Blitz only to close after the Second World War.This was the environment that shaped a young girl then known as Dorothy Soames, who was left behind by a mother forced by stigma and shame to give up her child; who withstood years of physical and emotional abuse, dreaming ofescape as German bombers circled the skies, unaware all along that her own mother was fighting to get her back.\'A gripping true story\' Christina Baker Kline, bestselling author of ORPHAN TRAIN\'Breathtaking\' Adrienne Brodeur, bestselling author of WILD GAME
