Official synopsis Publisher
Esther Harkess lives in Edinburgh with her husband Addie. Esther was 11 when she learned the truth. She had been adopted. She heard this staggering news a few weeks before she departed for boarding school for the first time. No wonder the next three years and one term were calamitous for her. Many years after the death of her adoptive parents and with the help of her husband, son and daughter, she started on the exciting, often frustrating and sometimes downright discouraging journey of discovering her past. Esther’s quest to find her birth mother Grace took her by internet searches, telephone calls and letters to the east end of London, Surrey, Hampshire, Suffolk, Australia and Essex. The reader will see how Esther on this journey of discovery with its many twists and turns became increasingly aware of God’s guidance resulting in a deepening of her Christian faith.
