Not Yours to Keep is a raw and emotional story that speaks to the resilience of women. It is a compelling tale about a young mother in the 1950s who fought against all odds to give birth to her child that was conceived by a brutal rape, only to give her up for adoption at birth.

Unknowingly, the baby girl, Julie, is adopted and raised by parents in a loving family only a few miles away from where her birth mother lives. There are many times throughout Julie's fifty-one years that their lives come very close to touching each other, but it's not until she and her husband decide to peruse the internet on a whim about their backgrounds that Julie and Diana connect. They share their life stories and realize how much their lives' paths have in common.
