520    "A pregnant, upper class nineteen-year-old Philadelphia 
       Main Line debutante is confined, against her will, to a 
       state mental hospital. She spends her pregnancy surrounded
       by the mentally challenged and the criminally insane. On 
       April 19, 1964, she gives birth to a child, whom she is 
       forced to give up for adoption. A loving middle-class 
       couple adopts a month-old little girl from Catholic 
       Charities. She is adored and cherished from the very 
       beginning. It is as though she is dropped into the first 
       chapter of a fairy tale--but we all know how fairy tales 
       go. This is the story of a mother and daughter. Of what it
       is to give up a child and what it is to be given up. Of 
       what it is to belong, what it is to be a family and what 
       it is to yearn deeply, and to never lose hope--because 
       anything is possible. In this exquisite memoir, Julie 
       Mannix von Zerneck and Kathy Hatfield recount the stories 
       of their lives. Deliciously strange, surprising and 
       sweetly funny, this tenderly written book takes us on a 
       wild and frightening journey. Written in two distinct and 
       deeply expressive voices, their stories seamlessly meld 
       together in a breathtaking ending."--Amazon.com
