Publisher's Synopsis
The year is 1968. Patti "Cat" Connor is young, single, and pregnant. Forced to make a heartbreaking decision, she must literally flee for her life and the safety of her unborn baby. Leaving the only home she's ever known in San Diego, she decides to travel across the state to Sacramento. Her journey takes her to Fairhaven Home, a home for unwed mothers. There, she gains powerful allies, makes strong friendships and equally as strong enemies, and finds unexpected redemption as she learns the true meaning of unconditional love. Ultimately, Patti learns that although new beginnings are possible, people don't always live happily ever after. Through her journey, she also discovers that life sometimes doesn't come around in a perfect full circle. This is a masterfully written novel with a message that is both real and impactful. May this story be a stepping stone towards better understanding and healing for women like Patti and inspire an element of change in the current adoption narrative.
