{"product_id":"9781426990021","title":"The Box In The Closet: My Journey To Claim Who I Am","description":"This powerful and unusual story contrasts The Bicknells, a wealthy and influential family in Rosedale, Toronto, Ontario, into which I was born out of wedlock, with a farm couple from near Brockville, Ontario who adopted me in 1935. At the age of sixteen I began to feel unsettled and lost. Eighteen years later I finally acted on that feeling and began the search for my lost parents.  Using documents I found in a box in the closet of my adoptive mother after her death, I have retrieved the moment when a sleek limousine emerged from the dust of a gravel road delivering me to my new parents.  The book follows that limousine back as I searched for my birth mother, taking me into mystery, intrigue and cover-up by the legal system but bringing me finally to a supper dance in the Crystal Ballroom of the historic King Edward Hotel in Toronto, where by chance, my birth parents were reunited.  The memoir is a story of loss and recovery but it is also a story of love, strength and redemption","brand":"Trafford Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47122439995632,"sku":"9781426990021","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781426990021_p0.jpg?v=1763746366","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781426990021","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
