NO STONE UNTURNED: A REMARKABLE JOURNEY TO IDENTITY by Nadean Stone

UNITED STATES, April 17, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ -- A newborn was abandoned on Christmas Eve by her young, unwed mother.

It triggered an incredible 44-year search for the girl to find her.

Told with humor and suspense, NO STONE UNTURNED: A REMARKABLE JOURNEY TO IDENTITY chronicles debut author Nadean Stone’s search for her birth mother utilizing DNA technology and innovative detective skills.

The desperation of the search sinks in as readers become familiar with the author’s narrative, the life she stumbled into, the friends and family who were supportive or not, the tragedies she encountered, and all the pieces and reasons that come together in explaining why Nadean, or anyone for that matter, would want to know their true identity.

“Many illegitimate newborns in Canada were sold or illegally given away by the Catholic Church and other institutions in the 1950s. On December 18, 1952, I became one of those babies,” Nadean writes.

Between 1945 and 1973, about 350,000 unmarried Canadian mothers were coerced or forced into giving their babies up for adoption. Many babies, like Nadean Stone, were illegally given away, like a puppy at the pound, for a nominal donation to the church.

To add to the real-life drama, Nadean battles an aggressive form of cancer, experiences a harrowing escape from a Caribbean island and suffers great losses that would break many a spirit.

Fans of "Inheritance" by Dani Shapiro, "The Lost Child of Philomena Lee" by Martin Sixsmith, and "A Long Way Home" by Saroo Brierley, which became the movie “Lion,” will love NO STONE UNTURNED, an inspiring memoir of courage and perseverance, proving miraculous and happy endings can be achieved when we never give up.
