First sentence: She hurried along in the gathering darkness on the cold October evening.
Description: This memoir tells about the life of a child who was abandoned in New York City and never stopped searching for her family.  The author says it is a book for women who want to be strong.  The life story is gleaned from a box-full of old diaries and re-lives the abuse and pain suffered at the hands of an unbridled angry grandmother who got her and her baby sister from the orphanage when no one else would take them.  It describles innocence and power; weakness and strength; love and forgiveness.  And, the pivotal mement when the author found her family again - almost 40 years later.
