Her multiracial features set her apart from her well-intentioned white parents, who evaded questions about her past. But when Deborah discovered a letter revealing the truth--that she was born in prison to a heroin-addicted mother and spent the first year of her life there--she spiraled into emotional lockdown. For years she turned to drugs, violence, and crime as a way to cope with her grief. Ultimately, Deborah overcame the stigma, shame, and secrecy of her birth and found peace by helping others--proving that redemption and acceptance are possible, even from the darkest corners." -- Publisher's description. 600 10 $a Jiang-Stein, Deborah, $d 1961- 650 0 $a Children of women prisoners $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Adopted children $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Racially mixed children $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Female juvenile delinquents $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Drug addicts $x Rehabilitation $z United States $v Biography. 941 $a 1 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006074530.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=AA31B43EB41E11E4B48B3FA5DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
