Blood and Water

In this heartfelt book, Katharine Quarmby explores her 20-year search for her Iranian birth father and reflects on her own adoption journey, while shedding light on the broader story of missing Iranian military fathers after the Iranian Revolution. Through her personal narrative, including an undercover visit to Iran, she examines the profound significance of both birth and adoptive families and the complex role of race in adoption. This moving account offers a touching tribute to the connections that shape our identities and the courage it takes to uncover one's roots.
