Description
Duplicity: My Mother's Secrets by Donna Freed is a gripping true story of family scandal and deception. In 1967, Mira Lindenmaier faked her own death in a drowning accident off City Island in the Bronx to claim double indemnity insurance money. Donna Freed's search for her birth mother led her to uncover a shocking web of lies and deceit that went far beyond her own family. The notorious Louise Wise Adoption Service, which handled her adoption, was exposed as corrupt and unethical, leaving many adoptees like Donna searching for answers about their past. This book is a remarkable story of one woman's quest for truth and identity, and the explosive secrets she uncovered along the way.
