Synopsis: 

At age 22, playwright Nicole J. Burton set out to find her birth
parents, a Jewish father and a mother believed to be an artist. The
adventure led to a kaleidoscope of relationships with one dark secret at
its center. 

 

Adam Pertman, Executive Director, Evan B. Donaldson Adoption Institute,
wrote of this memoir from the adopted person's perspective, *Swimming
up the Sun is a powerhouse of a book - at once graceful and strong.
People touched by adoption will find it affirming and insightful;
everyone else will learn a lot about the world around them, even as they
simply enjoy Nicole Burton*s wonderful writing.*
