Enjoy the original story that readers fell in love with, The Girl with Three Birthdays.
The brief “Report of Investigation” contained inside the thin, manila envelope that landed in Patti Eddington’s mailbox after almost six decades locked in a courthouse vault looked unassuming—but the adoption document unleashed a heartbreaking, emotional tempest and led her to question everything she ever believed about her beloved parents and her childhood, and use her journalistic skills to go digging for the truth.
What People Are Saying
