In 1966, when Judy became pregnant at the age of 16, her family kept her plight a secret. She was sent from her all-girls Catholic school to hide in a home for unwed mothers, give birth, and relinquish her baby girl to adoption. The fabricated story of her kidney disease was supposed to undo the impending damage to her reputation. Judy's father instructed her to never look back.
Judy felt the grief and shame within her body and fought to keep it contained within the shadows of silence. But as an adult, she felt compelled to address the loss by searching for her birth daughter and bringing her story to light. Judy experiences firsthand that secrets keep your soul hidden in shame and stifle the clarity of your true being. In the end, Judy sails free from the shadows of silence and experiences a deeper, more compassionate connection with herself and others.
This satisfying story of renewal and redemption will bring tears and laughter. As an adult, Judy reflects on her teen age innocence, telling her story with raw honesty. Watch the book trailer here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLTe10ZmhhU Visit Judy's blog at: http://sunlightonmyshadow.com

As an adoptee I just loved this amazing insight into the thoughts of this birth Mum. I would recommend this to all people born and adopted out in that age of secrets.

I liked this book very much. As someone who is almost the same age as the author, I understand all too well the harsh societal judgments back in the 1960s against any girl (and her family) who became pregnant. In those days, it was completely unheard-of to actually keep the baby when one hadn't been married. It might be hard for some young women nowadays to understand how harsh that social climate was, considering that now we even have TV shows all about single teen motherhood.

Judy's story was very personal, of course, and echoed its time and attitudes quite well. Her writing is solid and true, and she developed her story (and her own search for self-forgiveness) logically and with enough detail to help us understand her plight with sympathy and emotion.

I have only one minor complaint. Perhaps I am being unfair to bring it up, since the book really is well-written, but this is a problem I am finding over and over and over again these days. The problem is failure to use the past perfect tense. In other words, when one is writing from a point in the past, an event previous to that one needs to be in the past perfect tense, as in, "I went to my aunt's house, where we laughed about all the things that happened last Christmas," should read instead: "I went to my aunt's house, where we laughed about all the things that HAD happened last Christmas." In this example, the problem may not stand out a lot, but when reading about events that happened 40 years ago compared to a year ago compared to an hour ago, the use of the proper tense makes a difference. I would pick out individual examples from the book, but I'm afraid they could act as spoilers, and I don't want to ruin the story for anyone. I'm shocked that with all the competent friends and family members who helped Judy finalize her book, that no one picked up on this error.

Oh, well. Aside from that recurrent (and common) grammar problem, it is a very good read and I was very much moved by it. I do recommend it for anyone - especially females - who have ever had to make a difficult moral decision. It is also an excellent read for anyone who struggles with ongoing issues of shame and/or self-forgiveness. I thank the author for her honesty and for sharing her difficult story with us.

This book will be widely read in the coming years. Judy's book is a rare combination; fine writing, a heart-wrenching story, and a salve for the soul of the sensitive. Everyone takes different things from life...a book read, a movie watched, a news article, a chance meeting, a dream. We act and interpret according to our characters and experiences. Sixty years ago (as I write this), my mother was moving into the last 48 hours of her pregnancy with the first of her eleven sons, me. She bore 4 daughters too, and she lies buried within shouting distance of where I sit. She was 47 when she died; killed, I thought for many years, by her Catholic faith, and its fierce hunger for more Catholics. We, her children were left with our own demons.

What I took from Judy's book was this: in matters of the heart, of guilt and of shame, of crushing regret, seek not forgiveness from others, turn first to yourself. It is not so much the story of an unwed mother, a teenage pregnancy, a culture of banishing the black sheep lest the neighbours talk (God help us all...how many tears have been shed for the sake of 'what people might think'?); it is a lesson in how to value yourself, how to heal yourself.

Judy's long-seeping wound was inflicted by society. To the millions of other Judys of both genders who will read this book, your wounds will not necessarily be from lost children, but, with luck, Judy's simple solution will help you find peace. Her story takes a long time to tell...she will take you to her childhood bedroom, her school, the Rocky Mountains, Big Sur, her subtly skilful writing carrying you through the years right alongside her. The story is long, but the message is short...forgive yourself.

Thank you, Judy. And good luck. We have never met. But we have.
