Swimming Up the Sun: A Memoir of Adoption

As an adoptive child in Britain, playwright Nicole Burton always wanted to find her birth parents. After moving with her adoptive family to the United States, she pursued the elusive characters haunting her imagination. At age 22, she set out to find her English birth parents, and began a search that led to parents, grandparents, siblings, a kaleidoscope of relationships with one dark secret at its center, and more drama than any play she could possibly conceive.
