Synopsis: After she discovers a shocking family secret, Carina takes a journey toward self-acceptance in this &“must-read for anyone who is adopted&” (Richard Krawczyk). A young American growing up in the Middle East, Carina Rourke enjoys a blissful innocence until, at age fifteen, she is captivated by an obsessive desire to look inside her mother&’s forbidden jewelry box. There, Carina discovers a shocking family secret. On the heels of her discovery, she and her family pursue her father&’s dream of a road trip through the Middle East and Europe. Their adventure serves as a metaphoric journey for the woman Carina becomes—a silent nomad searching for identity. When they reach Paris, Carina is entranced by the city&’s temptations. French pastries become a dangerous addiction and an accomplice in silence . . . and so does the love of a mysterious Tunisian. Many years later, as a married mother in Holland, Carina draws on her father&’s wisdom to finally confront the family secret and begin to heal herself and her family. &“Carina&’s book shows you how to become empowered by the sometimes shocking and traumatic experience of adoption.&” —Richard Krawczyk, author of Ultimate Success Blueprint
