Phantom Son: A Mother's Story of Surrender

Dr. Sharon Estill Taylor has written a highly readable and illuminating account of her experience as a birthmother in the sixties. With a keen eye for detail and a wry sense of humor she vividly recounts the ways the no-questions-asked cultural forces of the time swept her toward the surrender of her son. Though steamrolled by a process that gave her no say Dr. Taylor persevered and found her voice as an early champion of sensitive search and reunion.
