Summary

As a teenager unable to deal with the shock of learning that she had been adopted, Barbara Attwood rebelled against her parents, finding solace in the exciting 1960s’ Liverpool music scene, spearheaded by the Beatles.
Decades later, Barbara discovered a tear-stained letter from her birth mother, containing heart-breaking words that would send her on a challenging 26-year quest to find her mother.
In May, 2002, Barbara received a call from Arizona that sent a shockwave through her family: her son Shaun Attwood had been arrested on serious drug charges and was facing life in prison.
