A Brief Affair

by Dale Foley

I have witnessed a remarkable but true story that just had to be shared.In the spring of 2017, I found myself walking down the aisle of a small New England church to witness my birth mother's marriage to a gentleman whose heart she broke sixty-two years ago when she ended their engagement because she was pregnant with another man's child.One woman's path through a pregnancy shrouded in secrecy, meeting the man of her dreams and the subsequent decisions she makes that thread her life. Amazingly, in her mid-eighties, she was given a second chance of love.Another woman's journey, having been adopted as an infant and raised in a warm, caring atmosphere by a loving family, never envisioning the search for her biological parents would lead down a path to so many discoveries.A heartwarming and compelling story of two families intertwined in the most astonishing and poignant way. Through tragedies and triumphs, coincidences and connections, these two women's paths finally cross again.

Loved this book. Great story and Dale has a beautiful economic writing style–using direct and simple language and then she throws you a little attitude every now and then that always makes you smile. The scene where she discovers who her brother's father is needs to be in a movie.
