Publisher's Synopsis
'Darling Baby Mine' is the heartbreaking story of John's search for his missing mother after she disappeared without a trace when he was just 4 years old. Growing up, he didn't even know her name and his father acted as though she had never existed. Only after his father died did John feel free to find out the truth. On the long trail he was confronted by many obstacles, including recurring self-doubt about the morality of his search and the murky world of mental health care in the mid-20th century. What he eventually discovered is both shocking and agonising.
