Today on the podcast we invite an award winning author, Laura L. Engel to discuss her book, "You'll Forget This Ever Happened: Secrets, Shame and Adoption in the 1960's".

It is the story of Laura, an unwed teenager whose life takes a dramatic turn when she gives birth to her first-born son in New Orleans Louisiana in July of 1967 and is forced to relinquish him for adoption. It is an unforgettable story of a mother’s love and the secret she never forgot. It will answer questions in ways that will surprise you while revealing a world not that long ago that was harsh and judgmental in ways we cannot even imagine today.

Take a listen as Roz and Laura connect on such a deep and profound level as birthmothers...
