Lauck's investigation into her own troubled past leads her to research that shows the profound trauma undergone by infants when they're separated from their birth mothers--a finding that provides a framework for her writing as well as her life.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Though Lauck's story is centered around her search for her birth mother, it's also about her quest to overcome her displacement, her desire to please and fit in, and her lack of a sense of self--all issues she attributes to having been adopted, and also to having lost her adoptive parents at the early age of nine. Throughout her thirties and early forties, she tries to overcome her struggles by becoming a mother and by pursuing a spiritual path she hopes will lead to wholeness, but she discovers that the elusive peace she has been seeking can only come through investigating--and coming to terms with--her past.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cem\u003eFound\u003c\/em\u003e is a powerful story of belonging, connectedness, and personal truths, in which Lauck lays bare the experience of a woman searching for her identity. Her assertions about mother and child will be a comfort to some in the adoptive community, and distressing to others; but her primary motive is to offer another perspective, and to give voice to the adoptive children who may be having trouble making sense of their own experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJennifer Lauck is an award-winning journalist and the author of the memoirs \u003cem\u003eBlackbird, \u003c\/em\u003e a \u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e bestseller, and \u003cem\u003eStill Waters.\u003c\/em\u003e Before becoming a memoir writer, speaker, and teacher, she worked for eight years in television news for ABC affiliates from Montana to Oregon.
