In 1970s Catholic America, Gail Sinclair committed a mortal sin: she got pregnant. Her mother, ruled by 1950s shame, made sure her daughter understood what breaking the moral code meant-obedience and silence. Gail had no voice when the decision was made for her. She had no voice when her son was taken from her. For twenty-seven years, she lived in that erasure. Then he asked to meet her. Magic: A Memoir of Closed Adoption and the Son Who Found Me is the story of what breaks a woman open and what, sometimes mystically, puts her back together. It’s about cruelty disguised as morality, grief that gets silenced, and, ultimately, grace. Now she tells the real story.
