A rollercoaster story of real love. For Nance, it begins with the photo she finds in her adoptive mother's room-a photo of herself as a black baby, with the parents she has never known. For OD, it begins with his father's decision to buy a trumpet-and with Mick Moran's strange visit to the Town Park building site where OD works. Both of them need to know the truth before their lives-and their relationship-can go on. But as their search continues, they discover that everybody has secrets-and that the truth is never as simple as it seems.
