Book Description
This is an adoption story like no other. It's already gotten more than 200,000 views on YouTube and been shared around the world. Now, you're going to get the complete un-told story of how I found my birth mother in El Salvador. I was adopted from El Salvador at age 1 and grew up my entire life in Massachusetts. One day, after a series of events, I decided to book a trip to the country and try to find my birth mother. All I had was a photo of her. That's it. None of the contact information I had was working. The phone number I had for lawyer who did the adoption wouldn't work. Ultimately, I only had one option. I set out to visit the town where she "supposedly" lived 25 years ago. My mission was to print out a bunch of photos, hand them out, and hope that someone knew her. I had no idea what to expect, but I could NEVER predict what happened next. Not only did I find my birth mother, but I also discovered that I have a brother and two sisters. What's more, my brother had been searching for me his entire life. What You'll Witness... This story takes you behind-the-scenes of my popular YouTube video. You'll join me on the search for my birth mother. Along with deep personal disclosures about my life growing up as an adopted only-child, you will also witness an authentic transformation. On the outset, I was guarded, skeptical, and angry when it came to issues surrounding my trip. I was afraid of gang violence and crime in the country of El Salvador. You will see how my feelings slowly change and why I held them in the first place. This book is an exploration of culture, identity, and adoption. It dives deep into the connection between a mother and a child, along with what it means to be human.

Book Description
An “evocative and entertaining” biography of the nineteenth century circus performer who became a global phenomenon (Neil Harris, author of Humbug). When P. T. Barnum met twenty-five-inch-tall Charles Stratton at a Bridgeport, Connecticut hotel in 1843, one of the most important partnerships in entertainment history was born. With Barnum’s promotional skills and the miniature Stratton’s comedic talents, they charmed a Who’s Who of the nineteenth century, from Queen Victoria to Charles Dickens to Abraham Lincoln. Adored worldwide as “General Tom Thumb,” Stratton played to sold-out shows for almost forty years. From his days as a precocious child star to his tragic early death, Becoming Tom Thumb tells the full story of this iconic figure for the first time. It details his triumphs on the New York stage, his epic celebrity wedding, and his around-the-world tour, drawing on newly available primary sources and interviews. From the mansions of Paris to the deserts of Australia, Stratton’s unique brand of Yankee comedy not only earned him the accolades of millions of fans, it helped move little people out of the side show and into the limelight.
