Often shrouded in mystery and secrets, the quest to discover our roots tests our commitment, relationships, and self-worth. Mr. Bannon explores his own innermost thoughts and assumptions, while expressing his gratitude for life itself, to the mother he has never met. This is a letter of love and curiosity, thanks and confusion, wishing and hoping and in the end, a sensitive message to birth mothers and adoptees everywhere.
