The Tree Began With Me

This second edition of the book includes the same story and beautiful illustrations as the first edition, in a new book size.

"A beautiful reflection on the heart's desire for belonging. Perhaps our deepest human need. Through the gift of procreation, the powerful truths of imparting belonging to our children brings dignity to our own story. Thank you, Jamie, for these words of new beginnings, hope and healing"

"A stunningly beautiful portrayal of the longings of an adoptee's heart. This book will be a gift to others who may never know their roots, yet find they can be deepened as they discover their own stories...ones that may begin with them, yet have no beginning or end."
