Book
The girl I am, was, and never will be : a speculative memoir of transracial adoption / Shannon Gibney.
"Part memoir, part speculative fiction, The Girl I Am, Was and Never Will Be explores the often surreal experience of growing up as a mixed-Black transracial adoptee through the stories of two girls on two different timelines bridged by a mysterious portal. Gibney surrounds those stories with reproductions of her own adoption documents, letters, family photographs, interviews, medical records, and brief essays on the absurdities of the adoptee experience. The end result is a unique portarit of an American experience rarely depicted in any form." -- Dust jacket cover.
