Father and Daughter: A love story
Helen Croydon

Ruth always knew she was adopted. When she sets out as a young adult to trace her birth parents, she hopes to find the missing piece to her biological roots.

For twenty years, Michael had questioned where his lost daughter may be. When he gets word that she’s been traced, he’s desperate to meet her.

But nothing prepared them for the overwhelming feelings of connectivity when they started communicating.

Their eventual meeting marked the start of a six-year profound but tumultuous relationship - constantly pulled together by their electric compatibility but driven apart by guilt and fear of judgement.

Their extraordinary lives between Australia and the UK see them navigate pregnancy, family scandal and a police investigation into incest. Their moving love story lifts the lid on a common but rarely talked about phenomenon of Genetic Attraction (GA), affecting many adoptees and their relatives, and reminds us of the power of unconditional love.
