What is it like to sail away from France, leaving behind a small brown-haired baby? To know for 30 years that, somewhere in the world, there is a boy who looks like you, your son, whose name you do not even know? What is it like to keep this a secret, even from your own parents? And then for him to find you by calling them? Finally you get to meet him, a grown man living in Denmark, a child of your body with whom you do not share a mother tongue. What is it like? It is the best gift you can ever imagine, like rain falling on a dry place. This memoir is a great reunion journey, from Paris, to California, to Denmark! A coming together of a mother and son, the only two people who can answer all the questions the other one has.
