In 1970, Patricia Knight Meyer was handed to the people who would raise her along a Houston hospital curb. No judge. No adoption paperwork. The attorney who arranged the placement later extorted her parents for $30,000. Patricia spent decades investigating the truth behind her own adoption. She didn't receive her first legal birth certificate until she was 47 years old.
Today, Unsolicited Press publishes WONDERLAND: Memoir of a Black-Market Adoption, a gripping literary memoir and investigation into family secrets, identity, and America's black-market baby trade. Part family mystery, part true crime, part reckoning with the systems that allowed children and their histories to disappear, WONDERLAND is for readers of The Glass Castle, Inheritance, and Relinquished.
We're proud to bring Patricia's extraordinary work to readers.
