hole in my heart

  • Dusky, Lorraine

“hole in my heart” is the powerful story of a mother separated from her child by adoption and the state-imposed secrecy that keeps them apart.  Defying convention, she reunites with her daughter in the early eighties when such reunions were rare.   The story continues where most adoption memoirs end, giving an inside look at what happens after reunion.  Lorraine Dusky finds redemption not only in advocating for ending secrecy in adoption, but also as a role model for other struggling lost mothers.  This is not simply and adoption story of lost and found; it is also the story of one woman’s life as a journalist, breaking out of “women’s departments,” and also as a wife, mother, grandmother, and passionate advocate for reform of America’s antiquated adoption system.”
