The White Rainbow

Marie and Edmond are a young couple dating in the 1960s. Their romance is suddenly interrupted by a pregnancy-and then adoption. Years later, that baby, now grown, Allison, embarks on a twenty-year journey for answers about her birth parents. The stories of unwed mothers and the children they adopted out in the 1960s are not often told. After all, that was part of the point at that time, to keep such happenings a secret. Using her own experiences as a starting point, Lynne Taylor Woods has crafted a novel that is as funny as it is thought-provoking and often quite poignant and moving.
