In Abby Lang's case, this quest is complicated by the fact that she was adopted at four months of age and has no knowledge of her birth family. Abby leads a life that, by most accounts, would appear to be very fulfilling. She earns a college degree, marries her college sweetheart, and lives with Matt and their three children in the house of her dreams. Yet all along the way, uncertainties about her own identity and the nature of her birth family prevent her from feeling truly happy and satisfied. Abby's discovery that their new neighbor, Kathryn, had worked for the adoption agency that placed Abby propels Abby on a search for the truth about her birth family. This search carries her on a whirlwind of emotions and in due course, the discovery of her birth family's history. All, however, is not as it first appears. What new insights will be revealed? How will they change Abby? Will Searching for Abby finally lead to the peace and fulfillment that she seeks?
