Three women - grandmother, mother and daughter. Three lives shaped by shared qualities of strength and determination. A moving and inspiring story of love, loss and discovery.

Lin Riley had always known she was adopted. Growing up the dark-eyed, olive-skinned child of fair parents, she would always dread the questions about why she looked so different from her parents.

She had a very happy childhood and hadn't given a thought to finding her real parents until the day she held her own baby in her arms and for the first time saw a face that looked like hers, felt what her mother must have felt on first holding her, and wondered how she could have possibly let her go - and why.

Lin's baby daughter Sam made her feel connected to the rest of the world for the first time, and made her yearn to find her own mother and father. But motherhood got in the way, and wasn't till twenty-five years later, her daughter an Olympic swimmer and media star, that she had the time to actually start that search in earnest.

The result is a book filled with the joy of discovery and the heartbreak and loss, as Lin and Sam put the missing pieces of the jigsaw into place. An intensely emotional, honest and personal story of three generations of love and memories and how Lin's journey into her mother's life would change the lives of Lin and her daughter Sam for ever.
