Bücher von David Jeffries

What if you were to wake up one morning and realize you were not the person you thought you were? At the age of fourteen my world was shaken to the core when I learned I had been adopted shortly after birth. It is only now, much later in life, that I truly comprehend how that fact influenced and shaped my life, the emotional highs and the very deep lows that followed, and the incredible journey to understanding, accepting and loving the person I am today. This is a story about human struggle, overcoming self-doubt, combating thoughts of unworthiness, and a life-long search for identity and love.
