Birthright Services A CRYING SHAME was a wonderful story. I was touched, moved and taken in by your words and feelings. I will recommend your book to my group. --

A Crying Shame is a very emotionally charged and riveting book. -- Concerned United Birthparents
Tieman's story tells the true and heartbreaking truth about unwed motherhood in the sixties. -- Catholic Services
Your book spoke volumes in a few short chapters. It's no wonder everyone says they "can't put it down". You will touch and heal many lives.

From the Publisher
The story told in A CRYING SHAME is one that needs to be told. It is unlikely that most individuals who have not been exposed to the birthmother's anguish or have only known the Adoptive Family's joy, need to be educated about the other side.
