A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

In the first-ever British birth-father memoir, Andrew Ward reflects on his own experience of losing a child to adoption to show how a traumatic teenage incident complicated his life. Thirty years after the adoption Ward set out to break down barriers, find his son and seek resolution. In this book he describes his search and, through flashback stories, illustrates how being a birth father has impacted on his relationships with women, career decisions, writing projects and assembly of attitudes. This is a book about secrecy, shame and self-punishment, but it is also a book about wonderful friendships, amazing coincidences and redemption.

Revue de presse

The Birth Father s Tale helps dispel the shadows surrounding birth fathers and their experiences. It ably shows that, whether explicit or not, for most birth fathers, their child may be out of sight but rarely out of mind. Dr Gary Clapton, author of Birth Fathers and Their Adoption Experiences --Dr Gary Clapton

An extraordinary, moving and unusual account of a birth father s life being defined by a years-long search for his son who was adopted at birth. Revealing and disturbing, it demonstrates the primal power of the blood link, and the need for a father to find his son. Jamila Gavin, author of Coram Boy --Jamila Gavin
