The Girl I Am, Was, and Never Will Be by Shannon Gibney

5.0

Audio / Read Fascinating, heartbreaking, enlightening. The real and imagined stories of parallel universes. Shannon, a black girl adopted into a white family as a baby relates her search for herself and her bio ancestors. She also relates the imagined life /search she would have had if she had stayed Erin, the name her birth mother gave her. If she had grown up with her bio mom. Shannon, Erin, the white family, Patricia her birth mom, Boisey sr her absent bio father, Boisey Jr, her son…. All crisscross timelines, real memories, hoped for memories, expectations, failures, universes.
