Description
Beyond The Bridge is an autobiography by Linda Ehle Callens. She was raised in Salinas, California, during the 50s and 60s. After nine years in parochial school, she began attending public school. She was a devout Catholic girl until she fell in love at the age of 16, got pregnant, and was forced to relinquish her baby to adoption. That was in 1967, when few people understood the repercussions of giving up a child. Linda vowed she would find her son somedayto tell him she had always loved him. In 1990, she joined a search and reunion organization and gained a great deal of knowledge about the effects of adoption before she found her son. But nothing could have truly prepared her for the roller-coaster ride she was about to board. When this book was finished, she had been reunited for 13 yearsand the ride was still going.
