Rebecca Carroll

Rebecca Anne Carroll (born 1969)[1] is an American writer, editor and radio producer.

[8] The book recounts Carroll's experience growing up as the only Black person and adoptive daughter of loving, white artist parents in their New Hampshire town.

She felt some growing isolation as time went on but her life changed substantially when she met her white birth mother, who undermined Carroll's confidence as well as her identity as a Black person.

The book traces the evolving tensions between her desire for acceptance from her mother, her love for her adoptive parents, and her own identity.

Prior to publication, MGM/UA Television acquired the rights, with Carroll planned to adapt her memoir as a limited series produced by Christine Vachon and Pamela Koffler at Killer Films.
