Baby Girl Jensen
A Memoir
Jennifer Minniti
Jennifer Minniti's heartening story begins with her youth, knowing nothing of her heritage and her birth parents. The author chronicles a nine-month search and bittersweet reunion with her birth mother, revealing circumstances of her adoption and an ancestry dating as far back as the 1600's.
Beginning with a foreword and introduction, Minniti offers a detailed account of the process and emotion involved in finding her mother. A daily journal kept during the process serves as the heart of the book. The epilogue concludes with an epilogue and revelation giving the reader an update, six years later, of how the relationship has evolved and discusses the search for her birth father.
Review: "Baby Girl Jensen is a touching portrayal of a young woman's search for her identity. As her story unfolds, the reader shares in her heartfelt disappointments and victories. Through her journey, she discover the critical pieces of information that unravel her personal history, making her whole for the first time."
-Shari Levine, adoptive mom and Executive Director of Open Adoption and Family Services
