The Findlings: A novel based on a real event

By Joanne Wilshin

Four young siblings, three sisters and a brother, destined for talented lives become separated in a horrid drowning incident in 1949. One sibling, Anna, takes it upon herself to reunite the other three once they're adults by leading them to their birth mother. While Delilah and Victor search to no avail, Bibi, the radio-head sibling most capable of finding their birth mother, refuses to do so based on myriad logical and psychological reasons. But Anna pins her hopes on Bibi, providing esoteric clues Bibi can't ignore, which culminates in her opening a box of letters and photographs, including letters written by her birth mother Grace. Simultaneously, Delilah invests in a detective to find Victor, and Victor struggles to find himself. The question for the reader: Which adoptee actually finds Grace? The true event anchoring this work of fiction is: The morning Bibi meets her birth mother for the first time in over thirty years. With a multi-generational cast of 20th century characters, The Findlings is a story of abduction and reunion which explores suppressed memory and the themes of family, fate, hope, and truth.
