The Secret Life of Dorothy Soames is the gripping true story of a daughter's quest to find the truth about her mother's origins-and, in the process, come to terms with her own life and choices.

A riveting, heartbreaking, and ultimately healing journey of discovery. - Christina Baker Kline, author of #1 New York Times bestseller Orphan Train Part investigative journalism, part emotional excavation, this breathtaking and heartbreaking book tells the story of a daughter's need to understand her difficult mother.
