Just Us Kids In The Dark (HarperCollins)

Jessica always wondered about where she comes from. When she hires a private detective to locate her long lost bloodline and find her origins, she ends up discovering more than she thought she was looking for…

Jessica, in her thirties, arrives in London, England to a dream home, dream relationship, and dream job. But three years after uprooting her life from Canada, she is far from settled. How can she put down roots when she is in the dark about her past? Jessica always knew she was adopted and always wondered about her origins. But after an epiphany on a double decker bus in Shoreditch that being cut off from a family tree means she is fundamentally adrift — a missing person — she hires a private detective to find out where in the world, and who, she comes from.

In her debut memoir Jessica Rose tells the deeply compelling and, at times, heartbreaking, story about searching, finding and losing family: of genetic bewilderment, extraordinary coincidences, and poignant reunions. An epic quest into the past to reconcile one family’s extreme separation, this is a beautifully depicted personal narrative about how far family ties can stretch before they fray and break — and the lengths we are willing to go to find our way back home.
