About the Book

Dianna and Steve were roaring through life, in love, happy, and intent on having a family along the way. The story that unfolds and changes their lives forever, seemingly by chance, is a reminder to us all that amazing things can happen if you listen to your heart. The joy of finally finding their son, the complex emotions of adoptive parents and birth families, and the deep sorrow of the blows that stole their happiness can be understood by each and every person who has loved and lost, as can the belief that happiness is cyclical, as is life.

About the Author

The author, Dianna Hubbard Stein, is enjoying a break from her decades-long career as a court reporter and business owner. Her unique life experiences about believing in results if you take the first steps, no matter how difficult, are reflected in her book about adoption, parenthood, and death, a raw and brutally honest account of the joys and sorrows of life. She has spent the last two decades raising her son, Zachary Joseph Hubbard. She is now “babysitting” his German shepherd dog while he explores the world. In her spare time she also enjoys road cycling and golfing. She and her husband Jim live in Northern California.
