Imagine you and your mother are at a store. While walking, your mother casually points to a stranger. She then says nine words that will change your life.

Catherine Gail Turner is the author of the book, “Mama Mae,” a book about finding out that not only was she adopted, but that her siblings were in the same town, being raised only a few blocks away. She is joined in the podcast by her oldest sister, Cathy Diane Coleman, and their birth mother Annie Mae White. All three of the women share a story filled with tears, laughter, and astonishing revelations.

As Billie Holiday once sang, “God bless the child who’s got his own.” Not only did Turner exceed her birth mother’s expectations, her career is almost a mirror image. She also inherited her mother’s looks, a resemblance so strong, it encouraged a virtual stranger to reveal her birth mother’s whereabouts.

Turner’s story is powerful. It’s a story of revelation, regrets and redemption. But mostly it’s about forgiveness.  Forgiveness is many things, but it’s also a form of faith. The type of faith that makes up both a sister’s determination, and a mother’s unflinching love.
