Publisher's Synopsis
Between 1945 and 1973, about 350,000 unmarried Canadian mothers were persuaded, coerced or forced into giving their babies up for adoption. Many babies, like Nadean Stone, were illegally given away, like a puppy at the pound, for a nominal donation to the church.
No Stone Unturned follows debut author Nadean Stone's 44-year search for her birth mother. Raised with no electricity or indoor plumbing, from the moment she understands the word adoption, she vows to find her. With no records of her birth, she battles against the frustration of bureaucracy and the unbearable pain of many heartbreaks.
Education is her salvation leading Nadean to a new life on an exotic Caribbean island. Fearful events unfold that propel her on a captivating journey of seemingly insurmountable personal challenges, as she strives to make whole, a life with a fractured sense of identity.
Told with humor and suspense, No Stone Unturned is an inspiring, triumphant memoir of courage and perseverance against all odds, proving the miraculous and happy ending we can achieve when we never give up.
