A new book, and the surprise of a lifetime

I wrote ‘Letter from Alabama’ to say ‘thank you’ to heroes who saved a little boy and his sister – and to inspire new generations with the true story of children orphaned and abandoned, then saved by grace and a family’s love. I had no idea that the book would also lead me to an older sister I didn’t know I had. On July 30, the Stanford KY newspaper published an article (below) that led several cousins from my birth father’s family to reach out to me, and connect me with Anna. Neither she nor I have any personal memory of our birth father. Until a week ago, neither of us knew of the other – nor our brother-sister relationship. Now we have more than six decades of catching-up to do. This is the second time that the published word has united me with my family. The first time was 1952 when a Letter from Alabama was published in a Dayton OH newspaper. That letter has given its name to my new book. Find the book here: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00VQIIODK. Here’s the article that led Anna and me to find one another: http://www.centralkynews.com/theinter...
