An emotion-packed yet heart-warming account of two teenagers who face an unexpected pregnancy and separate for 53 years, this true love story will touch your heart when they reunite with each other and the child they placed for adoption.

They knew each other since grade school, but when she was 13 and he was 15, they started hanging out together. However, for two teenagers in love, an unplanned pregnancy was not in their dreams for the future. By the time she was 15 and he was 17, they had a child. As he walked into the hospital to sign the birth certificate, meeting a young photographer, he asked “Would you take a picture of our new baby?” With a quizzical expression, the photographer agreed. He took this small baby picture and a photo of himself, inserted them into a silver, heart-shaped necklace and presented it to his lady as a remembrance of their daughter’s birth. Having this picture of their newborn baby girl before she was whisked away by the adoption agency was the only physical remembrance of their daughter… until 54 years later.

After 53 years of separation, the one-time sweethearts reunited and found the daughter they had placed for adoption. Experience the various emotions involved when the adopted child, now 54 years old, finds out her biological parents have just married each other and are searching for her.

Second edition is now available in print, e-book and audio versions.
