Born only weeks apart, Michaela was white and Frankie was black, and they were an unusual sight in their dual pram. Despite the doting of his parents and the unceasing love of his sister, Frankie's life was rarely easy, and it ended far too soon when a fire took him when he was only twenty-six. But for a devastated Michaela, Frankie's effect on her life was only beginning. She embarks on a search to learn what she can about Frankie's birth family, a journey that takes her to Uganda, to a culture and a family she never knew, through twists and turns and remarkable coincidences - and to a mission and to a connection with her African brethren she never could have imagined. STARCHILD is a remarkably candid memoir that plays out on both a personal and global scale. It is the story of the intimacies of siblinghood and the complexities of multi-racial adoption. It is the story of the unique connection of extended family and the unique commitment to an adopted homeland. It is the story of long-held secrets revealed and long-maintained barriers broken. And it is ultimately the story of a sibling relationship that transcends borders, time, and life itself."-- $c Amazon.com. 600 10 $a Marsh, Michaela Foster. 600 10 $a Marsh, Frankie. 650 0 $a Brothers and sisters. 650 0 $a Interracial adoption $z Scotland. 650 0 $a Families. 650 0 $a Family secrets. 651 0 $a Uganda $x Description and travel. 650 7 $a Brothers and sisters. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00839671 650 7 $a Families. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01728849 650 7 $a Family secrets. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01737651 650 7 $a Interracial adoption. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00977475 650 7 $a Travel. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01155558 651 7 $a Scotland. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01206715 651 7 $a Uganda. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210282 941 $a 1 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20210723014838.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8E7D2BF6EB7B11EB93BE284041ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b NIUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
