As little Debbie Gallios grows up, she slowly and sometimes painfully becomes aware of her adoption. While she grows up with loving parents, works in their renowned restaurant in downtown Chicago, travels to and studies in Greece, and goes on to marry and have a child of her own, Deb is unable to ignore her gnawing curiosity over her birth mother. She sets out on a prolonged search that challenges her patience as well as her confidence that she is doing the right thing. In time, the truth of Deb’s origins are revealed with more surprises, more synchrony, and more gifts from the heart than she could ever have imagined!
