Description

When Margaret Moorman was 16 she became pregnant, endured the stigma of teenage pregnancy, and was essentially forced by her parents and society into first a cover-up and then the giving up of her son for adoption. She was told to get over it and forget. As Moorman reveals in this stark memoir, forgetting was not possible. At age 40, with a daughter whom she could not bear to be separated from without anxiety, she confronted the past, began searching for her son, and wrote this searing condemnation of the social prejudice that had trapped her as a 16-year-old. She writes with angry clarity of the strangling embrace of cultural mores, and of the 'climates of approval or disapproval' that remove the possibility of choice and create feelings of guilt.
