Her white, English adoptive relatives were beloved to her and were all the family she needed. Contacted by relatives she didn't know she had, she decided to visit Eritrea, the war-torn African country of her birth, and answer for herself the daunting questions every adopted child asks. Imagine what it's like to never have seen another woman or man from your own family--to spend your life looking for clues in the faces of strangers. We all need to know why we were given up. What Hannah Pool learned on her journey forms a narrative of insight, wisdom, wit, and warmth beyond all expectations.--From publisher description. 600 10 $a Pool, Hannah, $d 1974- 600 10 $a Pool, Hannah, $d 1974- $x Family. 650 0 $a Adopted children $z Great Britain $v Biography. 650 0 $a Adoptees $z Great Britain $v Biography. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x Social life and customs. 651 0 $a Eritrea $x Social life and customs. 856 42 $3 Contributor biographical information $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0902/2008017905-b.html 856 42 $3 Publisher description $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0902/2008017905-d.html 856 41 $3 Sample text $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0902/2008017905-s.html 941 $a 5 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909020620.0 952 $l LTAX046 $d 20210729011059.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722022313.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006051628.0 952 $l VFPB334 $d 20090708133753.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9C7694E66BFD11DEA13FF332A8D7520A 994 $a 02 $b UIBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
