Thank you for brightening my mind with another candle of inspiration along my own journey as an adult survivor of being an unwanted child. I am truly grateful for the gift of this story, which she dedicated to all unwanted children. Adeline, in her own beautiful words uses wisdom and understanding to portray her journey. Although in our lives as adults, we find our own people, our own path forwards, our own belonging, we continue to carry within ourselves the deep held fears that such childhood catastrophic rejection entails. It reminds us that although we may be unloved and unwanted by our own parents, there will be other significant people in our lives that we can learn from, be encouraged and inspired and valued by, while at the same time acknowledging the deep wound and lifelong pain such a rejection of belonging seers us with.
Her story is one of courage, encouragement, resilience and true gritty determination to succeed despite all odds. Perhaps others, who are also unwanted, may see them a hundred years from now, and be encouraged.” Adeline Yen Mah Adeline’s story of growing up as the unwanted daughter in a large and multilayered family touched my heart in so many ways. I know one day I shall die and vanish into the void, but hope to preserve my memories through my writing. I have always cherished this dream: of creating something unique and imperishable, so that the past should not fade away forever. “This book is dedicated to all unwanted children.
