Like many adopted people, filmmaker Barbara Sumner yearned to know who her
mother was. New Zealand’s closed adoption laws made that almost impossible
and coloured her chaotic adolescence and adult life. When she finally tracked her
mother down, a longed-for reunion ended in tragedy. This remarkable, moving,
beautifully written memoir explores Sumner’s conviction that everyone who loses
their mother suffers some degree of physiological damage. They are all grafted
onto the tree of strangers.
