Vierzig Jahre fehlen zwischen Mutter und Tochter. Ein Leben, das niemand erklärt hat. Und eine Tochter, die erst spät begreift, dass man auch ohne Vergangenheit bleiben kann.

„Vierzig Jahre nach ihrem Verschwinden erfahre ich endlich, warum meine Mutter sich nicht von mir verabschiedete.“Manchmal braucht es vierzig Jahre, bis eine Wahrheit endlich ans Licht kommt. Nach dem spurlosen Verschwinden ihrer Mutter bleibt ein Mädchen zurück, das nie erfährt, warum es verlassen wurde. Kein Abschied. Keine Erklärung.

This book offers a personal inquiry, not a political treatise, into the consequences of allowing labels to define both individuals and societies.
