    About this ebook

    This is a true account of my life until age 45 Years. I have written it in the hope that it will inspire and encourage those who have experienced the effects of being without their biological families ,being placed with the wrong people and other various experiences which are emotionally draining.
    When faced with difficult situations I felt that I could not give up trying as often I found myself in situations that were not of my own making. I am sincerely hoping that this account will show people not to give up too soon because sometimes you end up being given the Greatest Gift of All.

      Sep 13, 2022

      Shaking hands with a new colleague, I saw her glance at my name badge, a confused expression on her face. ‘Sheetal?’ she said. ‘That’s an unusual name.’ I knew what she was thinking – my name didn’t match my appearance as a white woman. ‘My parents
