X-WR-CALDESC:Join author Janet Sherlund as she discusses her elegant and he
 art-wrenching memoir\, ABANDONED AT BIRTH: Searching for the Arms That Onc
 e Held Me. \n\nSherlund paints a vivid portrait of the detachment and long
 ing of an adopted child and the lifelong quest to find her biological moth
 er. It’s an unflinching examination of the grief and trauma caused by this
  primal separation and the dogged determination it takes to face the force
 s of opposition—both internal and external—to finally attain answers. ABAN
 DONED AT BIRTH illuminates the darker side of adoption\, and what it takes
  to heal. \n\nAbout Janet\nJanet Sherlund raised her family and served on 
 nonprofit boards in education\, health and the cultural arts before writin
 g her memoir\, Abandoned at Birth. Her single most significant life event 
 was being given up for adoption at birth. Being adopted made her feel as t
 hough she was living a “borrowed life\,” undermined her sense of trust and
  personal value\, and impacted every decision she made. It also led to a l
 ifelong quest to find her biological mother\, with the hope of finally fee
 ling a tether to this world\, a sense of belonging and ultimately\, hersel
 f. Her memoir fulfills a lifelong dream of becoming a published author\, a
 s well as raising awareness about loss and grief in adoption\, and why it 
 takes more than love to survive that trauma.  A graduate of Colgate Univer
 sity\, Sherlund lives on the island of Nantucket off the coast of Massachu
 setts with Rick\, her husband of 45 years. Abandoned at Birth is Sherlund’
 s first book.
