Full Description
Finding
Margaret is the
moving story of journalist and broadcaster Andrew Pierce's search for his birth
mother. As he was approaching fifty, Pierce decided that it was finally time to
track down his biological mother. He knew that he had lived in a Roman Catholic
orphanage in Cheltenham for more than two years and was adopted at the age of
three by a family who loved and nurtured him. As his career in journalism flourished
and despite feeling like he was betraying the adoptive parents who loved him so
much, Pierce began to tentatively search for his birth mother, only to find
that she had done everything she could to ensure he would never find her.
When he
finally managed to meet her, the mystery only deepened, leading him to Ireland
in search of the man who may or may not have been his father. During his
search, Pierce also realises the extent of the mistreatment he suffered at the orphanage
and attempts to forge a relationship with the woman who gave him away.
This
candid book is a heartwarming page turner that takes the reader on an
extraordinary journey. Full of amusing and arresting anecdotes, at its heart
lies the inspirational story of one man's extensive search for his birth mother
and what happened when he finally found her.
