Title by Mary Ellen Gambutti

  • by Mary Ellen Gambutti

    This is a story of loss and discovery told through letters, vignettes, essays, fragments, and images. Born and relinquished in 1951 and adopted by a military couple, family separations and the transience of military duty, a culture of secrecy, and sealed birth record laws form barriers to this seeker’s search for her truth.
