What's your name Where were you born What is your date of birth
Simple questions that we are asked throughout our life - but what if you didn't know the answers Kate Adie uncovers the extraordinary, moving and inspiring stories of just such children - without mother or father, any knowledge of who they might be, or even a name to call their own. With a curiosity inspired by her own circumstances as an adopted child, Kate shows how the most remarkable adults have survived the experience of abandonment. From every perspective Kate Adie brings us a personal, moving and fascinating insight into the very toughest of childhood experiences - and shows what makes us who we really are.'An exceptional account by a remarkable woman' -- Michael Parkinson on THE KINDNESS OF STRANGERS 'The paciest and most entertaining history book to come my way' -- Ian McIntyre, The Times on CORSETS TO CAMOU 'Sharp, witty and full of insights into the BBC and the sometimes crazed world of broadcasting' -- Daily Express on THE KINDNESS OF STRANGERS
Kate Adie is a winner of the Royal Television Society's coveted 'Reporter of the Year' award. She presents the BBC's From Our Own Correspondent programme. She was awarded the OBE in 1993. Her bestselling autobiography THE KINDNESS OF STRANGERS was first published in 2002.
