Description
Philomena meets Lion in this captivating memoir—the story of an orphan abandoned on Christmas Eve by her young, unwed mother and the journey undertaken to find her.
Between 1945 and 1973, about 350,000 unmarried Canadian mothers were 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 utilizing DNA technology and innovative detective skills.
Fans of Inheritance by Dani Shapiro, The Lost Child of Philomena Lee by Martin Sixsmith, A Long Way Home by Saroo Brierley which became the movie Lion, will love No Stone Unturned!
Told with humor and suspense, No Stone Unturned is an inspiring memoir of courage and perseverance, proving miraculous and happy endings can be achieved when we never give up!

Incredible Life's Story
This is the fascinating story of one woman's life. From no amenities like running water in the backwoods of Canada to being married to a political mover and shaker in the Caribbean, this woman has lived an unbelievable life. This is an inspirational story of facing incredible odds and still having the tenacity to walk the moral high ground. I couldn't put it down.

Many thanx to NetGalley, the author and the publishers for allowing me to read and review this book.
I found this book to be very difficult to read as I could relate to many of the mother's and adoptees. When one has no clue as to your parentage there is a huge piece of the jigsaw of life missing.. In many cases never to be found which is such a terrible shame.
