Lynda, I hope your mom will read the book as well. I surrendered in 1971, and that book truly set me free. I first saw the book in a bookstore in 2006 (before I found my son). I picked the book up to have a look but when I realized what it was about, I set it down quickly and had to leave the bookstore. I wasn't ready to deal with it, because at that point I didn't even know that I was "allowed" to search for my son. I didn't read it until after I found my son the following year.
Reading TGWWA is probably the singlemost important contributor to my healing -- it literally set me free... it allowed me to release my emotions... it put things in perspective... I learned I was not alone... I finally understood that I was not "bad" and that I didn't really have a "choice" in the matter.
I wish they would make a documentary out of the book...
Peace,
Susan
