A propos de cet article

IPPY Awards Gold Medal Winner in the memoir category Colorado Independent Book Publishers Association (CIPA) Gold Medal Winner in the memoir category National Indie Excellence Awards finalist in the new non-fiction category A deeply personal memoir about finding family and belonging from White House staffer Robin F. Schepper.  Growing up torn between her single Pan Am?stewardess mom and brothel-owning grandmother in 1960s New York City, Robin F. Schepper never imagined that she?d one day have an office in the East Wing of the White House. Her childhood in a German American neighborhood on the Upper East Side was peppered with half-truths, from the family secrets surrounding her grandmother?s immigration to deceptions about her biological father.  In a world of self-absorbed adults, Robin largely raised herself: she secured a scholarship to a prestigious private school and worked several jobs as a teenager to pay her own living expenses before finally escaping to California for college. Street-smart and undeniably driven, once in the professional world Robin quickly ascended in the male-dominated political sphere, traveling the globe while being subjected to sexual harassment and assaults that echoed obstacles her mother and grandmother had faced. Through it all, Robin searched for her biological father. She felt that if she could understand why he abandoned her, she could free herself from secrets, lies, and shame.  Robin eventually rose to work for the First Lady of the United States Michelle Obama and, in the meantime, created her own family by adopting two sons from Kazakhstan. Intimate and captivating, Finding My Way follows an ambitious woman who reached the highest pinnacles of a political career while simultaneously fulfilling her own quest to heal from family trauma and discover her true identity. …
