What I've given you can be summed up briefly—the experience of motherhood. What you've done for me is more precious than life--being able to live mine in freedom. Finding Out what you went through for me is a gift. It's a gift I want to share with everyone who opens this book and journeys with me through a child's eyes and sees how Finding Out bits and pieces of a difficult truth transforms a life whether it is a child's or an adult's wading through what was hidden in the past. The story begins when a black service couple are stationed in the Philippines and have "a thousand and one reasons to remember their days in Asia".
