At fifty-eight, with a divorce behind her and her two grown sons, Dawn should be trying to settle into a new future for herself. But she keeps returning to the past and the secret she's kept all these years. At just sixteen, Dawn found herself pregnant, and her parents sent her away to have the baby and give her up for adoption. More than forty years later, Dawn yearns to reconnect with her lost daughter. But tracking down her child is not easy. It's an emotional journey that leads Dawn to retrace her steps -- from Trinidad to Venezuela to London -- and to question not only that fateful decision she'd made as a teenager but every turn in the road of her life since.
