Her own story - "I couldn't have made it up" - by a woman of mixed race who was adopted by a wonderful Scottish couple. While she loves them wholeheartedly, she needs to discover her roots, and decides to search for her biological parents. She faces mixed reactions to her quest, but bravely continues to a mostly satisfactory conclusion. Being a poet, Kay's writing is often lyrical and emotional - the book makes for an interesting read.
