From a Desert City by the Sea

Advanced praise for From a Desert City by the Sea:

"The suspense of the search and DNA was intriguing... so haphazard at first then so coldly exacting in the end....Michele has managed to weave secret adoption, reunion and the forgotten role of birth-fathers into a work of art that reads like a murder mystery. Archaic closed adoption laws lay the groundwork but love and the power of DNA steal the show."
~ MAJ Peter W. Franklin (Ret.) RPh, AdopteesWithOutLiberty.com /AWOL

"This captures it perfectly."
~ Michael Hering, father of two, parent of one
"[T]he story [is] engaging, the writing fluid...real characters."
~ Ridghaus, "Six Word Adoption Memoirs", Adoptee Voices Writing Group
"AWESOME!"
~ Rob Manzanares, a father in "The Red Pill" documentary on men's rights
