She is sent to an abusive "maternity home," where she is shamed and deceived into signing adoption papers.In the present day, Allison Garrett volunteers as a "search angel," using DNA tests to help strangers locate lost relatives. But the family tree she finds most compelling is that of her own mother, who was abandoned as a baby.
