Denene Millner is a New York Times-bestselling author, award-winning journalist, and director of the Denene Millner Books imprint. She has written 30 books for adults, teens, and children, and her latest, "One Blood," comes out on Sept. 5. The novel is about the connection between three women: a birth mother who had her child taken away; the adoptive mother who raised that child; and the child herself.
It's a novel inspired by the questions Millner was asking herself, as she parsed her own story - having figured out at 12 that she was adopted, and keeping it a secret for years. Read her reflections on that moment, and so much more, in her own words below.
I was 12 years old when I found my adoption certificate in my parents' room. They used to lock their bedroom door - I'm not sure why. Probably to keep us nosy kids out of their private, grown-up things.
