Aged twenty-one, Gloria starts independent living, allowing her to re-establish her friendship with her aunts, who reveal her father’s identity. True love then follows as she meets and marries Robert Urquhart, who supports her unwaveringly in her desperate and passionate quest to find her brother.This powerful memoir sheds light on what life was like in a 1950s children's home and follows the author on her compelling journey to find happiness and a family of her own.
