It was 1949. Abortions were illegal. She was seventeen when she gave birth. She was my mother.This book chronicles the effects the birth of an unwanted child had on three families and three generations. It takes you through the unsettling chain of events that followed when my motherDaniella DeChristopher hopes that sharing her story will show others in similar situations that they are not alone. She wants everyone to know that just because your story had a bad beginning doesn't mean that it has to have an unhappy ending.
