An adoptee of the 1970s, Annie Oliver had always known she was adopted and, for as long as she could remember, had felt a deep need to discover who her birth parents were. She lives in Derbyshire with her husband, two children, and many pets. This is her first piece of writing, which she felt compelled to create after the deaths of both her adoptive parents over the last decade, finally allowing herself to stop hiding her emotions and her journey. Annie writes in the hope that others may identify with her story and find solace in it, and that those who are still searching may find hope.
