Description
Zara H. Phillips seemed to live a charmed life--backing singer to the stars with an incredible career here and across the Atlantic--but her smile masked a difficult childhood and the reality that she was adopted as a baby in the 1960s. Her life soon spiraled and as a teenager she suffered from drug and alcohol addiction, as she struggled to find her birth parents and her true identity. Somebody's Daughter is a fascinating and revealing account of how a beautiful woman's life has been dominated by her adoption and how it has affected her and those around her. Hard-hitting and emotional, Zara's memoir explores the needs of adopted children, with her characteristic warmth and wit, and the true journey it takes to find where you belong.
