Publisher's Summary

As soon as she is adopted, seven-year-old Hannah begins struggling with her identity. After spending her early life yearning for her adoptive mother’s love and dealing with her adoptive father’s deception, Hannah matures into a young woman who seeks a better life. Unfortunately, she carries many wounds and scars instigated by abuse.

During Hannah’s years in college and law school, she becomes a civil and women’s rights activist. After she falls for a White student named Daniel, she quickly realizes that interracial love is not accepted in America. When the mystery of her identity suddenly reveals itself on her birth certificate, Hannah is led to the crossroads of her family roots, where she must determine the identity of her birth parents, contemplate whether they will accept her, and decide whether to visit her birth mother’s birthplace. 

To complicate matters, Hannah’s one true love, Brian, suddenly comes looking for her. Now, only time will tell if she will ever find the answer to the crucial question, "Who am I?"
