Description: Over twenty years ago, in a small Israeli town, a desperate mother told a remarkable lie. She told her friends and family that her newborn child had died. That lie became the catalyst for the unfolding truth of the adoption of that same babyâ€"Michael â€"who is, in fact, very much alive and now twenty-two years old.
