For anyone touched by the complexity of adoption, this personal story spans seventy years of soul-searching questions along with the anxiety and joy associated with their answers. It also looks deeply at the events that shaped my life from a happy early childhood to an unstable upbringing as a teenager which led to my leaving home at age sixteen. This book links rock and roll music's powerful influence on me as I hitchhiked across the United States in the early and divisive 70s and eventually found sanctuary in the social unrest of those turbulent times. What emerges from there is a portrait of adaptation, survival, and happiness. This is a tale of roots and branches as one adoptee seeks the truth of how he came to be. This is my journey.
