About the book
In the first-ever British birth-father memoir, Andrew Ward reflects on his own experience of losing a child to adoption to show how a traumatic teenage incident complicated his life. Thirty years after the adoption Ward set out to break down barriers, find his son and seek resolution. In this book he describes his search and, through flashback stories, illustrates how being a 'birth father' has impacted on his relationships with women, career decisions, writing projects and assembly of attitudes. A candid memoir exploring shame, self-punishment and ultimately, redemption.
