2nd book--Born-Child

Picture
Born-Child, Carol Anderheggen's poignant new collection is a poetic memoir chronicling the most traumatic events in her young life. Abandoned by her mother and left to fend for herself at the tender age of three, Anderheggen is taken into state custody, entered into the foster care system of 1950's Florida and finally placed in an orphanage until she is adopted.
​Am I a born-child? is the question which haunts her--the question she asks of others as she wrestles with complex emotions and fragmented memories. Forget the first eight years of your life, she is told. Thankfully, Anderheggen didn't forget. Thankfully, she wrote the skillfully-crafted poems presented here. Thankfully, she discovers that the answer to her question is a resounding Yes.
