Synopsis

A heartbreaking, beautifully written memoir about tragic loss, a family mystery, a son s faith and his long quest to find his missing mother. DARLING BABY MINE is a dramatic page-turner about the author's search for his mother who disappeared without trace when he was four years old. It was as if she never existed. He did not even know her name. After surmounting many obstacles, including his father's implacable silence and his own doubts and fears, he finds her thirty-five years later severely damaged by years in mental institutions. The author is then faced with trying to re-establish the most significant ties in human experience: the bond between a mother and her child.
