An Excerpt from the Book
We were adopted. That was the truth.
But it wasn’t offered like a fact to understand—
it was handed down like a sentence to carry in silence.
Frances said, “Don’t tell anyone.”
And just like that, the truth turned into something shameful.
Something hidden.
But I was too young to carry secrets well.
So I said it. Softly. Plainly.
“I’m adopted.”
Not to rebel. Not to shock.
Just to name what I’d always felt:
that something in me had been unanswered for years.
I thought the truth would bring peace.
Instead, it brought anger, silence, and more distance
from the people who were supposed to be my home.
