Memoir Index
This page serves as the living index for my serialized memoir, Born in the Shadows, Living in the Light: My Adoptee Epiphanies – The Fight of My Life.
As each chapter is released, it will be added here in order so you can easily follow along, return to previous chapters, or read at your own pace. New chapters are published over time and delivered to subscribers’ inboxes as they become available. Be sure to save this tab so you can return easily.
On March 24, 2026, I’ve removed the paywall from my serialized memoir so every chapter is now open and accessible to anyone who needs it.
