Description
One phone call, wholly unexpected, instantly turned Sarah Saffian's world upside down, threatening her sense of family, identity, and self. Adopted as an infant twenty-three years before, living happily in New York, Sarah had been "found" by her biological parents despite her reluctance to embrace them. In this searing memoir, she chronicles her painful journey from confusion and anger to acceptance and, finally, reunion -- but not until three soul-searching years had passed. In luminous prose, Sarah Saffian crafts a radiantly powerful story of self-discovery and belonging, a deeply personal memoir told with grace, eloquence, and compassion. At once heartbreaking and profoundly uplifting, "Ithaka" is sure to touch anyone who has grappled with who they are.
