Produktbeschreibung
A heartbreaking true story of abandonment, betrayal, and the search for truth. Born to a 17-year-old mother disowned by her strict Catholic family, Daniella spent her earliest years shuffled between 21 homes before the age of eight. When her mother was declared unfit and lost temporary custody, strangers tried to adopt Daniella as their own. After a grueling two-year legal battle, her mother regained custody. Daniella hoped for stability and love - but found only emotional absence. By seventeen, she left home determined to create a life of her own, desperate to prove she was worthy of belonging. Her search led her to find her biological father - and with it, devastating consequences that would change her forever. Years later, as she cared for her dying mother, Daniella uncovered a dark family secret that shattered everything she believed about her past - and about herself. Behind Closed Doors: A Daughter's Story is a raw and deeply moving memoir about survival, resilience, and the courage to face even the most painful truths. Daniella DeChristopher's journey speaks to anyone who has longed for acceptance - and proves that even in the darkest betrayals, you can find the strength to break free and redefine your future.
Autorenporträt
A compelling true story about an Italian Catholic family who came to America on vacation and never returned to their homeland. When their youngest unwed daughter became pregnant, her family disowned her. It was 1949. Abortions were illegal. She was seventeen when she gave birth. She was my mother.This book chronicles the ripple effects of an unwanted child on three families and three generations. It shares my mother's fight for survival as she struggled to care for me-and how she eventually gave up and left me with strangers. I take readers on my journey to uncover the truth, exposing the bad decisions I made along the way and the price I paid for them. Through it all, I share the lessons I learned about life and how I finally managed to find happiness.
