When she was 16, journalist Tracy Clark-Flory found out that she had a long-lost sister. Her mother shared that as a teenager, she had given up a child for adoption, and the grief of that act had sent her to a mental institution. There was not much more that her mother shared, and Clark-Flory did not ask. But years after her mother’s death, Clark-Flory set out to find her sister and learn more about why her mother could not keep her child. She tells that story in her new book, “My Mother’s Daughter.”

Tracy Clark-Flory will be discussing her book with Savala Nolan at Green Apple Books on the Park on 9th Avenue on Thursday, May 14 at 7 PM. More info here.
