A Brief Affair

I have witnessed a remarkable but true story that just had to be shared.

In the spring of 2017, I found myself walking down the aisle of a small New England church to witness my birth mother's marriage to a gentleman whose heart she broke sixty-two years ago when she ended their engagement because she was pregnant with another man's child.

One woman's path through a pregnancy shrouded in secrecy, meeting the man of her dreams and the subsequent decisions she makes that thread her life. Amazingly, in her mid-eighties, she was given a second chance of love.

Another woman's journey, having been adopted as an infant and raised in a warm, caring atmosphere by a loving family, never envisioning the search for her biological parents would lead down a path to so many discoveries.

A heartwarming and compelling story of two families intertwined in the most astonishing and poignant way. Through tragedies and triumphs, coincidences and connections, these two women's paths finally cross again.
