Publisher's summary
In this Audible Original Podcast, we hear the story of Daisy - a black baby adopted into a white family in rural 1970’s England. Alienation and loss of identity dominate her childhood.
After discovering she was conceived through child rape, she begins a lifelong mission to find and prosecute her birth father using the only irrefutable evidence left. Her own DNA.
But justice isn’t just for her birth mother. She too, is a victim, and when the world around her doesn’t agree, she is forced to reckon with external and internal powers out of her control.
Content Warning: There are references to child sexual abuse, suicide and there is also strong language and racist language at times. Listener discretion is advised.
Episode 1: Born a Crime Scene
Daisy struggles with the glare of attention she receives as the only black child in her community. Then she discovers the truth behind her adoption.
Episode 2: The Missing Mother
Amid an exciting new life in London, Daisy begins to search for her birth mother, Grace. If she can just meet her, maybe Daisy will be able to make more sense of who she is in the world.
Episode 3: The Missing Father
After a difficult reunion, Grace and Daisy try to get to know each other, but it’s harder than expected. Feeling she has nothing left to lose, Daisy decides to find out once and for all who her birth father is.
Episode 4: The Watershed
The relationship between Grace and Daisy comes to a gut-wrenching halt and Daisy is confronted with some destabilising realisations about her adoption. Then a national scandal drives her on a furious mission to seek justice for her birth father’s crime.
Episode 5: Vexatious
Daisy turns detective as she tries to uncover her birth father’s identity. Armed with a mountain of new evidence, she’s confident of bringing a prosecution against him.
Episode 6: The Power of Rage
Daisy reaches breaking point. Just as she feels she’s exhausted all options, a television interview turns the tables.
Episode 7: I Am Not Your Shame
Justice is served, but Daisy’s wounds still go deep. She diverts her anger into a campaign to change the law. And she begins to address her own trauma.
Episode 8: Roots
Daisy is coming to terms with the true impact of being trans-racially adopted. Having never had a sense of her black Jamaican identity, she makes a journey to uncover her ancestry which will become one of the most transformative experiences of her life.
For further listening and reading on the topics covered in this series, Daisy recommends the following podcasts and books – all available on Audible or Amazon.

In a gay nightclub in Orlando on June 12, 2016, the shooter, Omar Mateen, murdered 49 people and wounded 53 others. The attack was the deadliest act of violence against the LGBTQ+ community in US history and the deadliest terrorist attack in the United States since 9/11. But there’s a story you haven’t heard. The FBI had a secret history with the shooter and his father. To obscure that history, the FBI pushed a false story that the media dutifully carried—that the attacker was a secretly gay Islamist extremist who had chosen to target Pulse and planned the attack for weeks.

Best-selling author Bryan Burrough recently made a shocking discovery: The small town of Temple, Texas, where he had grown up, had harbored a dark secret. One of his high school classmates, Danny Corwin, was a vicious serial killer. In this chilling tale, Burrough raises important questions of whether serial killers can be recognized before they kill or rehabilitated after they do. It is also a story of Texas politics and power that led the good citizens of the town of Temple to enable a demon who was their worst nightmare.

Monster stories aren’t just meant to entertain. They’re meant to inform, even educate. Above all, they ask us to question our own humanity. Nowhere is this truer than in stories of serial killers. What are the origins of this monstrous archetype? Why are we so fascinated with such gruesome terror? What do they reveal about our fears and anxieties? Explore these and other questions in Serial Killers: Real and Imagined, where public scholar Emily Zarka looks at the serial-killer trope across history, from murky 17th-century legends to 21st-century true-crime obsessions.

Story
It took me a lifetime to have the courage and the clarity to write my memoir. I want to tell the story of the moments - the ups and downs, the triumphs and traumas, the debacles and the dreams - that contributed to the person I am today. This book is composed of my memories, my mishaps, my struggles, my survival, and my songs. Unfiltered. I went deep into my childhood and gave the scared little girl inside of me a big voice. I let the abandoned and ambitious adolescent have her say, and the betrayed and triumphant woman I became tell her side.

In this searing classic autobiography, originally published in 1965, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and Black empowerment activist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Human Rights movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American dream and the inherent racism in a society that denies its non-White citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time.

It became one of the oldest cold cases in Scottish history. Sandra lived just around the corner from Moira. She grew up hearing about the missing girl, whose memory haunted the town.

At the height of World War II, Oak Ridge, Tennessee, was home to 75,000 residents, consuming more electricity than New York City. But to most of the world, the town did not exist. Thousands of civilians - many of them young women from small towns across the South - were recruited to this secret city, enticed by solid wages and the promise of war-ending work. Kept very much in the dark, few would ever guess the true nature of the tasks they performed each day in the hulking factories in the middle of the Appalachian Mountains.

Center of the YOUniverse is an out-of-this-world spectacle starring Tituss Burgess and Jane Krakowski with music, laughter, and (probably) the salvation of humanity from its self-inflicted doom. Unaware of just how brightly the other one shines, Tituss and Jane will attempt the impossible: a double-booking. In a unique blend of song and storytelling, they’ll stop at nothing to upstage each other and steal the spotlight…until they realize the true purpose of being ridiculously attractive and having immeasureble talent: to unite and heal the world.

Story
Praised as “a breakneck, hair-raising comic tour of the contemporary American male psyche” by The New York Times, Drinking in America, is a gritty, muscular restaging with star Andre Royo (The Wire) bringing to vivid life more than a dozen colorful characters, each in the throes of intoxication. Written and originated by three-time Obie Award winner Eric Bogosian, this critically acclaimed work takes on a new persona in our present day, with terms like toxic masculinity and male fragility at the forefront of the zeitgeist.

Trauma in the womb and at birth
The painful story of coming to terms with what had shaped Grace as a person. The courage and tenacity that she had in pursuing truth and a resolution against all odds. The sad story of how once relationships are broken they rarely heal. It was an insightful narrative into a world few have ever experienced, yet the basic needs every human has made the story relatable and profound. Will most likely listen to this again.

Acknowledge her strength
I can empathize with Daisy and her journey to get justice for herself and her birth mom. I don’t fully her birth mom’s distancing towards Daisy just as much as I don’t fully understand Daisy’s animosity towards her adoptive mom. I hope finding her true identity and roots will help Daisy be able to let her guard down and accept love and light with her newfound lease on life.

I loved this a lot more than I anticipated. The accurate Ross sense of humanity is something everyone can relate to on their own levels.

Educational and eye opening
I am an adult adoptee, age 46. Although I am not a person of color, or a product of rape- the feelings and thoughts expressed by Daisy resonated with me in so many ways. As I’ve grown older we the years, I’ve been able to learn more about the effects adoption has on people and while I’ve never allowed myself to be a victim of my circumstances- just knowing that the things I was told that “were wrong with me”- weren’t really my fault. The one thing that hit me in the heart was when the notion that adoptees brought into a family are often a result of a loss of child by adoptive parents. It never really occurred to me, that we come in as a replacement, or a way to fill a void from a devastating loss. I spent my childhood listening to my adoptive mother talk about the loss of her babies. I got along well with my adoptive dad, but unfortunately he passed away. My adoptive mother and I don’t speak anymore and it’s heartbreaking. She will never understand the damage she has done to me over the years by her cutting remarks and constant criticism. She never should have adopted more kids. While I was grateful for the social status move up the ladder. ( my real parents were homeless) I was still constantly reminded of where I came from and that I needed to be a perfect, quiet child that didn’t make mistakes, because i was lucky to have been chosen vs. living on the streets. I can’t relate to all the race and the horror or a rape, but I really enjoyed the authors story and highly recommend to anyone looking to understand themselves or an adoptee family member or friend.

Wooo lawdy she needs a hobby
Daisy is an enjoyable narrator but bless her heart she has no idea what real problems are. So ungrateful. I’m a POC and for the life of me I don’t understand why Daisy seemed so determined to create a bigger divide than there was. Oh you poor thing, you had a white family that didn’t see you as an outsider. How terrible. I have to wonder if Daisy had a hobby or activity if she would still be obsessed with this agenda? I feel awful for her adoptive mother who tried to raise her in a united world where skin color doesn’t need to be divisive.

painful
Listening to this was painful , Daisy seems to be an ungrateful self-absorbed narcissist and everything is about her not the real victim like her mother . she was not a victim of the rape she was a consequence of the rape.just my opinion.

A great story full of bravery and emotion. I admire Daisy’s bravery and willingness to tell her story. She faced so many obstacles and challenges, but yet sought justice for herself and others. I hope that she will continue to discover her TRUE self and finds the peace she deserves!

Sad story of an adopted woman who cannot except love from her adopted family.
This story was well told. I found myself frustrated with Daisy. My heart breaks for her adopted family who could never be what she wanted. I hope someday she can except that she was loved by them even if she did not love them. To me Daisy was determined to be the victim.
