Meredith Hall’s moving but unsentimental memoir begins in 1965, when she becomes pregnant at sixteen. Shunned , kicked out of her mother?s house and banished by her father, she gives up her baby up for adoption. Finally she returns to New England and stitches together a life that encircles her silenced and invisible grief.
