The story and reflections of a Quebec child adopted in 1969 who was reunited with her birth mother in 1994 and then, unexpectedly, with her father a few months later.
The author begins by painting a portrait of adoption in 20th-century Quebec, particularly during the 1950s and 60s, a period marked by a surge in births, many of them illegitimate. This historical context provides a deeper understanding of the attitudes of a bygone era and the realities experienced by the protagonists.
The birth mother and adoptive mother take turns sharing their stories, shedding light on their respective pasts and the motivations that led them to such a momentous decision. The author shares her story through her childhood memories and reflections, always aware of her uprooted status. Then she takes us along with her through her questions and steps that will lead us to the heart of this great adventure: the moving and surprising reunion. But such a life-altering event is not without consequences and will inevitably transform her life and the lives of those close to her.
