The award-winning journalist and co-host of CBS Saturday Morning tells the candid and deeply personal story of her mother's abandonment and how the search for answers forced her to reckon with her own identity and the secrets that shaped her family for five decades.
Los Angeles in 1967 was deeply segregated. Born from an affair and an unplanned pregnancy, Morial was raised largely by her father and his family, and grew up with no knowledge of her mother. Here she tells the candid and deeply personal story of her mother's abandonment-- and how the search for answers forced her to reckon with her own identity and the secrets that shaped her family for five decades. Now an award-winning journalist and co-host of CBS Saturday Morning, Morial has been a witness to history as well as a participant in it. What emerges is a story about the secrets we keep, the secrets we share, and the secrets that make us who we are. -- adapted from jacket
