Finding Mary Smith in the UK

 ENGLAND BOOK EVENT ANNOUNCEMENT 

I’m incredibly excited to announce that I’ll be traveling to England this September for a special presentation celebrating Finding Mary Smith.

Join me for an unforgettable afternoon as I share the extraordinary true story behind the memoir—from discovering at age 52 that I had been adopted, to using DNA, genealogy, and decades-old clues to find my birth mother, folk singer Mary Smith, more than fifty years later.

During the event, I’ll take audiences behind the pages of the book, revealing the twists, dead ends, and astonishing discoveries that made this journey possible. Following the presentation, there will be an audience Q&A, where I’ll answer questions about DNA testing, genealogy, Search Angels, adoption, writing the memoir, and the remarkable reunion that changed my life.

I’ll also be signing and personalizing copies of Finding Mary Smith, and I’d love the opportunity to meet readers, fellow genealogists, adoptees, NPEs, and anyone who enjoys an unforgettable true story.

A heartfelt thank you to Gullivers Bookshop in Wimborne Minster for sponsoring this event and helping bring this story home to the UK.

And one more thing…

Mary will be there.
