Inspirational Indie Author Interview #42: Interview with Sara Easterly: Adoptee's Search for Birth Mother Reveals Surprises: Inspirational Indie Authors Podcast

My guest this week is Sara Easterly, an adoptee who wrote a book, Searching for Mom, about her quest to find her birth mother. But, more than that, her book is a spiritual and emotional search that tries to come to terms with something experienced by many adoptees, a feeling of abandonment. Along the way, Sara learned many surprising things about her adopted mother, her birth mother, and herself. Every week I interview a member of ALLi to talk about their writing and what inspires them, and why they are inspiring to other authors.
